because it's going around

I support gay rights, and I intend to support gay rights until I no longer have to because they're taken for granted.

I should probably specify that I'm talking about rights under American law. It's been pointed out to me that my religion forbids homosexuality. So it does, and I'm not looking to reform my religion; I'm looking to make sure that religious and civil law stay as separate as they can possibly be.

Which is to say that if the right to open a seafood restaurant weren't taken for granted, I'd support that too.

I support people's rights. Gay rights, or black rights, or Seventh-Day Adventist rights, or readhead rights, follow as a consequence.

This is, as you indicate, a matter of the relationship between a government and the people it has power over.
