Your opinions. They are no more important to me than my "trivial" concerns.
1. I was not aware that transsexuals couldn't marry.
quote:
... in 1998, a trial court in Orange County, California affirmed
the validity of a marriage involving a trans sexual man. The case arose
when the wife sought to invalidate the marriage in order to deprive her
husband of his parental rights vis-a-vis the couples child, who was born
through alternative insemination. Fortunately, the trial court rejected the
wifes argument that the transgendered husband should be considered
legally female and refused to nullify the marriage.

ws.copernic.com/clickser ··· Url=trueApparently not an issue, here, in California. And, in Texas, of all places, apparently transsexuals who are homosexual can marry (though I did not actually follow that link).
2. They apparently have not succeeded in California.
3. And I recall when the United Way defunded BSA; a large part of the reason I don't contribute to them any more.
4. I am not a "protected minority", and find that, as an over-50 non-minority, jobs are hard to come by. Who put special treatment of "protected minorities" in effect? Not the Republicans.
5. A search on "DNR water" was inconclusive, so I don't have a clue what that is about. I can find references to a number of states, but California is not one of them.
Everything you mention in your list is applicable under "personal liberties", and either just as trivial as my list, or just as important.
And I don't see how I should have any more sympathy for you than you have for me.
