Re: "Isn't it great to have rights, and to not have people trying to deny you your right simply because they disagree with you?"

That is not a true statement, Joe. 

I could give you the names of several people who still today try to do exactly that. A lot of those names are prefaced with "Reverend".

 For but one example, look at same-sex marriage. "Reverend" Charles McVety is still working on trying to deny LGBTQ2S citizens of their right to marry the person of their own choosing.

And we won't even approach a woman's right to wear whatever she chooses without risk of bodily harm because of far-right extremists doing precisely what you claim is not happening.
