All the "other battles" I was writing about were in the context of equal rights for gay and lesbian people, as per the poll numbers. The single poll question that did not show majority support for their equal rights was on the use of the term "marriage". All of those other rights are important, with real consequences in all our lives.

But I am not suggesting we give up anything. Fight all the battles, but don't let the opponents direct all of our effort to the one battle we can't win...yet.
