Gays in WV have the exact same rights as everyone else in WV against someone killing them. It's just as illegal to kill a straight person as it is to kill a gay person.
What are "better" rights? Depending on where we live, gay people may have fewer rights than straight people or the same rights. (For example, a group of lawyers in Minnesota has identified 515 rights in state laws that straight people have that gay people do not have.) I'm not aware of any place where we have more rights than straight people.
Not many people did. It gave rights to men and the pursuit of liberty and happiness. :)
No. Wanting equal rights for all people is not communist.
The Virginia Declaration of Rights was a model for the Bill of Rights.
All the rights of other people, except gays. In most states, gay marriage is banned. Opposites attract!
The Virginia Declaration of Rights
He thinks they deserve the same rights as straight people.
it affected choices by people now wanting to choose what to say do and other things.
The Bill of Rights, written by James Madison, was influenced by the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in many ways. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights are similar to the Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason. For example, Article 8 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights keeps people from "being deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land", which later developed into part of the federal Bill of Rights. There are also sections of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by Thomas Jefferson, that can compare to the Bill of Rights. The five basic freedoms, found in the first amendment, are still prevalent in our communities and governments today. Separation of church and state is still an issue. People everywhere still adament that they have religious freedom.
Maternity leave rights vary by state and by company.
Under state law, gay people in New Hampshire have virtually all the same rights that a straight person has.
James Madison is the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights
