"Yet the naughty bits seem to be more important? "

As a matter of fact, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A), which nobody seems to know about anymore, prohibits the states from making laws / policies which unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights. And pro-gay, PC interpretations of 14A's Equal Protections Clause aside, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay “rights” like gay marriage, the states in question violated Section 1, imo, by using constitutionally unprotected gay “rights” to trump 1st Amendment freedom of religious expression.

If you're referring to: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;" then I'm afraid it doesn't apply to "constitutionally enumerated rights." In fact, it doesn't apply to rights at all, but only, as it expressly says, "privileges or immunities." In addition, it's not even talking about "the (American) People" who have God-given rights, but only "citizens of the United States" who are accorded those "privileges or immunities" by that government.

And that's the mechanism - our we are all being held under administrative, corproate laws of PRIVILEGES. You cannot even bring up the term "rights" in a Court - you will be held as out of order for lack of standing.

Everything is being done by the Left as an adjustment of specified privileges - all of it. That's where the fight is, but no one is there to fight. They don't even know the subject exists.

We have not, in fact, lost any rights at all. They're just not being used - and no one cares to find out how.
