Forcing people to acknowledge the rights of others

Propaganda News Network characterises gay marriages in San Francisco as:

homosexual Californians forcing everyone in that state, whether they like it or not, to legally recognize their relationship

Yes, that's exactly what it is - exactly the same, in fact, as Afro-Americans forcing everyone in the US, whether they liked it or not, to legally recognize them as full and equal citizens; or as women forcing everyone in the US, whether they liked it or not, to legally recognize their right to vote. This is a straight-out civil rights issue, and there are often people who reject all progress on these fronts because they feel threatened by others posessing the same rights they have. It's sad to see that PNN is one of them - but somehow not entirely unexpected.
