It's not simply an opinion though. Equal rights is fundamentally different than all those other issues you listed.

- carlob 13y agoImmigration policy is also about equal rights...
- fletchowns 13y agoTo an extent, yes. However, restricting the rights of a noncitizen is a lot different than restricting the rights of a homosexual.
- carlob 13y agoIt is different, but it's not any less an injustice. One could even argue that it's worse in some sense. Let me play the devil's advocate: an homosexual couple cannot conceive a child, so by giving then them the chance to adopt your somehow extending their natural rights. On the other hand restricting one's freedom of movement because one was born in the wrong country seems completely arbitrary. Don't get me wrong, I fully support the struggle of homosexuals for equal rights, but why it's considered acceptable to maintain that non-citizens have less rights than citizens escapes me. It should be exposed as xenophobic behavior, exactly like campaigning against homosexual marriage is homophobic.
- saraid216 13y agoUm. Animal Rights and Immigration are both "equal rights" issues.
