MARRIAGE EQUALITY NATIONWIDE

It did leave me to wonder something, though, what will the next civil rights fight be?  I mean, there are certainly legitimate racial, religious and gender issues in the country, but the laws don't reflect those problems so it's not really much of a "civil" issue.  What dos that leave?  Trans rights?  Those are certainly up there, with a lot of laws that hurt us.  Still, I can't help but think I notice trans rights first because I am trans and these are issues that effect me, personally.  If I belonged to some other demographic, would I notice issues that effect that group more?  Or if I didn't belong to any specific demographic, what group would I notice from more of a third-person perspective?

Edit: sorry for the weird font changes in this post, I can't fix it while on my phone.

I think the most outrageous human rights violation in the US right now is the fact that Obama has signed off on documents that make it nearly impossible for all the people in Guantanamo Bay who are known officially to be innocent (which is over half of those currently in there) to EVER be released. They literally give financial reasons for keeping innocent, suicidal men imprisoned until the day they die in the hellhole where they have been tortured and run by the same guards who've been abusing them for over a decade.

George Bush never did anything that evil. Hundreds of innocent men were dumped back in their home countries with no explanation, apology or compensation on his watch. Better than what this bastard is doing.

But if you do specifically want suggestions for CIVIL rights - those affecting your own citizens only - I strongly suggest children. As a demographic they can be denied cancer treatment by their parents and even worse in my opinion, can be denied pain medication while they die of cancer, in many states. Other people's religious rights are being prioritised over the individual's right not to be medically neglected as a minor.
