The rights and privilages we enjoy are structured and enforced by the political institutions we form as a society. Those institutions grant and deny rights and privileges as they please.

The basic problem here is that many Christians are working to have the U.S. government deny basic rights to gay people. It's not enough for them to practice their beliefs. They have to work to force them on other people.

All the philisophical claptrap in the world won't change that - especially clapcrap about a god granting me rights. That may be an idea that's OK for children and feebleminded people but it's surely not something the queer rights movement gives two shits about.
