Ignoring that rights may not be, and are not in practice or in us law, purely abstract - by possessing a mind capable of holding them, or any other of the number of explanations and semantics for the possession of abstract items. How do you posess confidence? How do you possess charm? etc etc etc.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In that sense, and only that sense, are they objective. And since you're complaining about semantics, maybe don't engage in them. You've made the claim now three times that rights are not abstractions (well, this last time you backed up and wrote that they may not be) -- but you have yet to show even a jot how they are concrete.

If rights exists by being defined in written law that would make them relative, not objective - but being written into law is how they are or can become concrete - technically speaking. Personally, I believe we have rights whether they're written in us law (or anyone's law) or not. Just as I believe we have rights even as they're being violated. You wont be surprised to find that I believe we have rights not specifically enumerated, not made explicitly concrete. My favorite part of the bill of rights is the 9th, after all. What rights do we possess? All the rights.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Grindr spiked in milwaukee in 2024 at the rnc convention. Grindr spiked in cleveland in 2016 at the rnc convention. Probably happened in charlotte in 2020 as well..but there's a huge native gay pop there, larger than milwaukees or clevelands, so it's unclear anyone would have noticed.
The reich keeps saying somethings turning us gay. Seems like they would know.
