In a truly free society, the individual is the primary unit, not the collective.

The cultural trend has been toward collectivism -- groups -- and away from the individual. Social theory is rotting from the head under the influence of Marx. The path we are on is one of collectivism and ultimately authoritarianism.

Gay rights and dignity must be defended by emphasizing the primacy of the rights and dignity of the individual -- not some imaginary amorphous anonymizing (individually disempowering) collective interest group.
