There's the continuing challenges of racism, of sexism, of discrimination against the LGBT community, of the way that we treat people as opposed to how we want to be treated.
We still have gaps that are rooted in gender inequality. Certainly we have discrimination against the LGBT community.
It is because the human experience is universal that human rights are universal.
Laws that discriminate validate other kinds of discrimination.
Laws that require equal protections reinforce the moral imperative of equality.
Gay rights and human rights are...one and the same.
Being LGBT does not make you less human.
Costs are incurred whenever any group is treated as lesser or the other, whether they are women, racial, or religious minorities, or the LGBT.
Violence toward women isn't cultural; it's criminal.
What was once justified as sanctioned by God is now properly reviled as an unconscionable violation of human rights.
No practice or tradition trumps the human rights that belong to all of us.
It is often the case that laws must change before fears about change dissipate.
Often those who are denied rights are least empowered to bring about the changes they seek.
Acting alone, minorities can never achieve the majorities necessary for political change.
