Even accepting the premise that rights are "endowed by the creator"--how does living a life free of discrimination not rank higher on the scale of fundamental rights than private property?

The argument is never about freedom from discrimination, but on what you are allowed to discriminate on.

Currently race and sex are nono's but religion and politics is ok.

Why should I face discrimination for my appearance when trying to get laid?

Surely the government should ban women and men from turning me down for sex because I'm not attractive.
