I was having this conversation with a fellow member of “team” LGBTQIA+ recently. We both agreed that those subcultures are highly distinct. Perhaps all we have in common is a willingness to be open-minded about other people? But even that is not guaranteed. And one finds the same trait, open-mindedness, among many non-alphabet folks. And as one who lives among “Hispanics,” I damned well know the difference between a Salvadoran and a Mexican.
I didn't put it in the post, but I quickly learned the "pecking order" among our "hispanic" employees. As in, who thought they were better than who.
One thing that I see as a huge problem is the growing notion that the trans agenda is about 'erasing' the notion of sexual orientation, and replacing it with (something I heard recently) 'gender preference.'
A ' preference' implies a choice, and the gay and lesbian communities have fought for decades or longer against the assertion that orientation is a choice. It's horseshoe theory - social conservatives and trans activists having a meeting of the minds, reality notwithstanding.

Oh, and it needs mentioning that support for gay marriage is apparently declining. That's another bit of fallout from the "union" of LGB and T.
It is declining? Can you point me to a source?

I blame social conservatives overreacting to the trans activists.
Brilliant. BTW, the man in your Libertarians meme looks suspiciously like Ronald Reagan! 😲
