14. Yup. Reproductive freedom didn't make the list. LGBT rights are buried, don't qualify as civil right
LGBT peoples' rights to not be fired or evicted, beaten and murdered, or lose their assets those aren't civil rights. Or issues. No, those explanations are under "people". African-Americans/Asian-Americans are both people and ISSUES (civil rights is a domain for racial discrimination only.) Faith is an issue AND people of faith are under people too.

Gay people? We're just 'people'. (but he'll help us out on the DL...)

Apparently Choice isn't an ISSUE either. It's not under FAMILY, but "promoting responsible fatherhood" is. Thanks but my dad was a responsible father without presidential help. You want a nation of better fathers? How about starting with workers rights, good benefits, and a 35 hour work week?
