Gay community and gay rights activism/politics were once intricately bound together. Now, what passes for gay community and LGBTQ+ activism/politics seem to be worlds apart, although many older gay men still heavily fund LGBTQ+ activist organizations, apparently unaware of the agenda these groups now support, such as transing gender-nonconforming gay and proto-gay kids and putting physically intact males who self-identify as female into girl’s and women’s locker rooms and sports.
From the Down Under, “Battle Lines Drawn as Gay, Trans Camps Square Off.”
But trans vs. gay may be the future generally. Via LGB Alliance Australia:
“Let’s be clear. ‘LGBTQIA+ no longer represents us. It now encompasses institutions that oppose the rights of lesbians, gay man and bisexual people, erasing our language, distorting our reality and mischaracterizing our rights as hate.”
