What are "Gay Rights"?

Do some Christians see gay rights as pertaining to mundane, practical matters in life? To "earthly" problems? Or gays don't deserve rights? Why don't we just "preach the gospel" and get ready for heaven--then none of these things will be important!? Some Christians may be so busy in their own lives that these matters don't concern them. They have their families, careers, church activities, and other interests! And if people are already busy, that's fine! But maybe conservative Christians shouldn't knock others who are trying to be helpful!? *** Don't we do charity work providing food, clothing, and shelter to the poor? Should we worry about these kinds of ordinary things??? We help with practical necessities because it may eventually bless the souls of the persons helped, I believe.--They have a better chance in life, including in their spiritual lives!?
