George,
The chronological succession of Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Gay Rights, Transgender Rights suggests to me that we a dealing with a civic fault line that originated with the measures that we taken to accommodate this enslavement in the creation of our deeply damaged civic foundation.
We will never come to an end discussion 'rights' on Haustus.
I have 'saved' a copy of this article for a future date ---- right not I'm a little pressed for time.
Best,
Jim
