Bill Maher: Trans equality must wait until after presidential election

4. What is it with Maher, anyway?

Doesn't he understand that inalienable rights start with the rights we are all supposed to have equally because we are all human beings? The first stop on that train is that your rights are not curtailed based on how you were born: male/female, white/non-white, gay/straight - you were born that way.

That's more basic than having rights to things that you have a choice about: religion, political affiliation, legalzing marijuana, gun ownershiper, freedom of speech or any of the other myriad rights (or privileges) that are not basic to the way you were born.

Where does one get the nerve to tell people that they must set aside their basic rights, lest their rights become an issue in an election? Rights are not issues.

Sometimes Maher is just plain stupid.
