George Pyle: Nobody is losing rights. Some may lose privilege.

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

“Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It’s not pie.”

If granting by law a guarantee of basic human rights to one identifiable classification of human beings is seen as endangering the rights of another identifiable classification of human beings, then what’s being threatened isn’t a basic human right.
