Need some help!

Does someone know of a Web site that has a detailed list of the 1400 + rights stripped from LGBT folks (in the U.S.) for being who they are?

I have searched and searched and cannot find a list out there, and I am desperate for a list, so I can finish off a little project I have been working on.

Thanks in advance!

1. It's in a book

http://us.net/epf/EPF_Alerts/040415.htm

This week a new book WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE A DAMN ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE by Davina Kotulski, Ph.D., has been released that will help carry the message even further. Why You Should Give a Damn About Gay Marriage is a timely book that will help people understand the 1,138 federal ways and the hundreds of state ways that same-sex couples are relegated to a second-class citizenship.

... After going to the www.ssa.gov to find out how much your partner will be denied, you will be propelled to action and you will be qualified after reading this book to speak eloquently on the 1400+ rights and protections we are denied.

2. Thanks, Newsjock!

But unfortunately at this time I can't afford to go out and purchase a book. I was hoping someone would have constructed at least a general list of the 1400 + missing rights.

Thanks again. I have bookmarked the page about the book, and will purchase a copy later on this year!

4. Thanks for this...

...mockmonkey! I loaded the site and have saved it, to look at tomorrow. (It is currently coming up to midnight for me, and I will be heading off to bed shortly!)
