This is just peak American narcissism exceptionalism. "X gave you your rights" no, you idiot, no one gave me my rights. My rights have always been the same. Human rights are granted for the merit of being a human, not through political activism. Every two consenting adults have the right to marry and found a new family, regardless of illegitimate laws prohibiting it. Right to get married is like one of the foundational human rights.

"X gave you your rights" isn't American Exceptionalism, it's a sign of a fundamental lack of understanding of the principles America was based on. Rights aren't given, they're defended, that's why they're called natural rights.
