LGBT

And I hope it works out for you

But do have to address this one point.

"If we don’t push then things don’t change for the better and “a little later down the line” never comes"

I was alive for most of the gay rights movement, and have supported it all along. Let me just share with you my recollection of how roughly this went down:

1) Decriminalize Homosexuality, and stop raiding our fucking bars, just leave us alone.
2) Let us have our public Pride Parades.
3) Stop discriminating against us when it comes to housing and loans and such.
4) Stop demonizing us with your religious bullshit, blaming us for AIDS, and instead start investing government funds and try to help us, Anita and Ronnie!
5) Stop calling gay teachers fucking groomers, we're not, and we have a right to teach children as our profession.
6) Quit using bullshit religion-based reasons to prevent us from being able to adopt children.
7) Allow gay people to serve in the military.
8) Put us in the Federal Code as a Protected Class for employment purposes.
9) Allow openly-gay characters to be represented on TV and in Movies (without them being Rated X).
10) Allow openly-gay talk show hosts.
11) You need to BAN this conversion therapy bullshit.
12) Grant the full benefits of Marriage to gay couples, protected under a SCOTUS ruling at minimum.

Do you understand how long all that took? Stonewall 1969 - Obergefell 2015 ... 46 years.

When I look back on that I have to disagree with your premise that 'later never comes'. It absolutely CAN, and that absolutely happened with Civil Rights, too.

Be strategic, that's all I'm saying.
