One of my favorite Abraham Lincoln quotes:
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
If I claim the right to deny you rights, that sets the precedent that someone (maybe you, or maybe someone? else) might deny MY rights.
So a victory for the rights of any minority, no matter how much or how?little you may identify with that minority, is a victory for us all.
