Wrong Choice of Word

Does anything look amiss about the title of this article:

"In Turnabout, U.S. Says Marriage Act Blocks Gay Rights"


I thought so too. It blocks GAY rights?  Obviously.  OBVIOUSLY it blocks Gay Rights.  We've all known that for years. The correct word should have been HUMAN rights or CIVIL rights.  Using the word "gay" illegitimizes the action.  Gay rights are what people believe to be illegitimate in themselves.  There are no rights except rights of the human, irrespective of race, sex, creed, sexual preference, gender, etc.
