Human Rights Everyone deserves the right to have their spousal status recognized by their government Everyone deserves the right to be protected from employment termination over sexual preferences Everyone deserves the right to have protection from someone who wishes to inflict harm on another person

What Gay Rights? Same-sex marriage Hate crime laws Employment Non-Discrimination Act protecting from termination over sexual orientation

We Are Everyone We are parents, children, brothers, sisters, athletes, celebrities, students, teachers, doctors and patients. To end the hatred, we need to end the stereotypes and increase awareness; separate church and state and simply respect individuals regardless of their sexual orientation.
