I don't think members of the GLBTQ community should be given additional "benefits" just because they are minorities. I just want the same rights everyone else has. Not discriminating against is very different from giving special rights to. Affirmative Action is giving special benefits to specific groups. While I do think that some rights deserve special attention, I do not think those groups are specifically: those of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.
If this were about discrimination, and preventing it, I'd be all for it. But this is not about preventing discrimination. As long as we (as a society) proceed in recognizing that women are different from men, women will be different from men. If we stop giving special privileges to groups, maybe everyone will start letting people just be people.
