Gay rights are everyone rights.
Really.
Even if you're straight.
Gay rights are the rights that mean you get to keep being a human being whether you're straight, whether you're queer, or whether your heart and your desire just happen to surprise you on some alternate Tuesday.
They're the rights that mean you don't have to worry about whether you look straight enough or enough like a boy or a girl (as "appropriate") to be safe.
And they're the rights that mean your friends or your kids or your parents or you know, anyone, gets to keep being a person too.
Gay rights are human rights. Human rights are everyone's rights, even when you think they are not directly relevant to you.
