What's the next issue for gay rights after gay marriage? (legal, states)

[xboxmas]

What will be next on the gay rights agenda after gay marriage legalized in their state? Gay adoption? The right to be married in the church? We always hear "the battle is far from over." I can see this being a never ending battle throughout my lifetime even if(when) gay marriage passes in all states.

Getting sexual orientation added to federal anti-discrimination laws as a protected class.

I'll say covering 'sexual orientation' under federal civil rights laws.

I don't think the ssm issue is over until there's a Supreme Court ruling.

A federal holiday.

Gays aren't allowed to adopt in the US?

Yes, what other special rights will the gay army demand they be granted?

Not in some states, at least jointly. A single person can, but not 2 people of the same sex in some states.

At least children are being protected in some states.

Having the same rights as everyone else can hardly be considered 'special'.

Hope not. I can see them targeting churches next though.
