Gay people do not have the same rights as straight people. The major rights that gay people are fighting for today are:
- The right to marry the person they love
- The right not to get fired just for being gay
- The right to adopt children (in some areas)
- The right for healthy gay men to donate blood and organs
- The right to walk down the street and not be harrassed or attacked
- The right to inherit a deceased partner's estate without paying taxes
