As of 2014, gay people lack the following rights:
Gay people don't have rights because the government is stupid. And is controlled by homophobes. Gay people should have the same rights as everyone else. So what if guys like guys or girls like girls? It's not affecting you unless your gay. Gay people should have rights.
If you are asking if equal rights for gay people are important, the answer is yes.
There are many ways gay people are denied their rights. As of 2013, Gay people are still denied the right to marry in 36 US states. Many of those states also ban gay people from adopting or visiting their partners in the hospital. Gay people can also be fired from their jobs for being gay in 31 states.
Because all people have rights.
There are no "gay rights". Gay people should have every statutory and Constitutional right Straight people have.
All people who believe in freedom and equality support gay rights.
The Green party supports full equal rights for gay people.
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.
If you are asking if gay rights are of Christian origin, the answer is no. In fact, one of the main reasons gay people are fighting for equality is because of Christianity.
Equality, by definition, is never unfair. Since the term "Gay Rights" refers to LGBT equality, gay rights cannot by definition be unfair.Opponents of gay rights who feel like they will lose their superiority to gay people may think equality is unpleasant, but never unfair.
Gay rights first became public in 1969. But it wasn't until the 2000's that gay people started demanding full equal rights.
Yes, all gay people in the United States have some rights, but depending on the state, they may be lacking some important rights, such as the right to marry, and the right to not get fired from a job for being gay.
