today i made a change to some of the wording in this section based on the notion that a right is inherent inalienable and is thus not something which can be conferred rather only acknowledged and protected at least when talking about law social contracts and a political candidate's position in regard to such matters in particular phrases like kerry wants to grant rights to homosexuals which i removed altogether i find to be somewhat sub npov the position of the glbt community is not unlike that of women and minorities in previous eras that they have rights that are not being recognized or equally protected i suppose a truly neutral phrasing would acknowledge that some people feel that such rights do not exist and thus do not deserve broad legal protections or social recognition i opted to just remove the most contentious phrase which was redundant anyway and to add qualifiers to another phrase to reflect the jeffersonian pov w r t inalienable rights
