Is all Equality equitable ?

Something struck me today while reading a newspaper.  It wasn't that I was so old to still read a newspaper, but I did enjoy that irony a little.

It was a reference to someone's religious rights conflicting with another's gender rights, and it struck me that perhaps some needs for equitable treatment are more equal, or more important than others.  Is the requirement to create an equitable environment on something I don't control - my gender, my race for example that I'm created with, more important ultimately than something I may choose, such as my religion.

This very very quickly moves into grey areas - sexual orientation and sexual identity for example that are arguably not chosen either, rather some claim that people are born this way.  Importantly, I'm not suggesting we determine the answers here, but I want to pose the question for you to consider.

Many communities are struggling to achieve equality in various areas.  Some of these struggles have been going on for a very very long time.  I think few would argue the merits of equitable treatment in itself, though many have varying lists of who should be equitably treated.  I guess I had never thought through that if all were given equality, then some circumstances would need to be more fairly treated than others when they came into conflict.
