I don't know what the original poster had in mind, but equal rights would just about cover it for me!

Marriage and the legal stuff surrounding it is pretty big -- health care, beneficiary rights, visitation, end of life care decisions, etc. So I wouldn't consider it an aside

We agree on the marriage (or legal status for gay couples) issue, and the military one.

I have mixed feelings about affirmative action, etc., and I haven't studied the issue enough to intelligently argue it here. It is my understanding, however, that the laws regarding job discrimination are varied and not always uniformly applied. So I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

Thanks for the dialog - you helped me flesh out my reasons for posting this in the first place!
