At What Point Do You Become A Second Class Citizen?

This TED talk raises many good questions around the topic of equality for all people regardless of the "box" they check off for gender.

IO Tillett makes the point graphically when she stands in a giant circle. To one side she steps and states that 15% consider themselves 100% gay. To the other side she steps and says 35% consider themselves 100% heterosexual. Then she looks into the vast middle and asks' "At what point do you lose your rights in America?" That would be the pertinent question for the remaining 50% in the middle of the circle!
