Rights

I was listening to a podcast the other day and was somewhat surprised to hear the commentator make, what I felt was a major gaffe, given his solid libertarian-esque creds. Basically, he was advocating for gay rights which, on the surface, one could argue is valid. Everyone has a right to associate as they wish as long as it does no harm to anyone else... But there-in lies the key. Everyone.
In other words, the distinction of 'gay' rights is an arbitrary classification of rights that pertain to all and is thus superfluous, and worse than that, dangerous as it creates interest groups that can be exploited by the state. Better that we recognize the human rights inherent in all (citizen, non-citizen, black, white, gay, handicapped, etc) than to break those rights down as exclusive to a certain segment of society.
I say, we all loudly proclaim all rights as ours. If we must operate in the current paradigm of divisions of rights, then rightfully claim your gay/straight/black/white/jewish/atheist/minority/one-eyed/too-hairy/fat/etc rights as YOURS! They all belong to you as a human right...there should be no other distinction.
