The biggest block in gay rights was getting the guys with money to give a fuck about you. Once that happened the 'winning' was inevitable. If it can be packaged and sold then it will be pushed.
I disagree. There are a lot of things people with money want others to believe that don't get nearly as much cultural acceptance (look at abortion, for example. Thankfully, it hasn't had nearly as much success as LGBT rights.). The challenges that LGBT equality had to meet are a) being noticed, as it was common to deny that gays even exist, and b) normalization, so that once gays are noticed, they aren't beaten back down, but instead fade into normality (rights would follow from a and b). There is an inherent tension between these two goals, and being noticed must happen before getting normalized. Part a is one of the reasons gays were so flambouyant. But mass media could do (a) and (b) at the same time by depicting gay characters like they were normal.
Regardless, I think you admitted my base point: Capitalism is amazing and it lead to Gay rights. So of course Pride should include an orgy of capitalism.
I have met one normal gay; the rest have been degenerates, the pattern is evidently holding. I suppose I should use studies? But since all they say is you guys A) Are essentially non monogamous and B) Are absolutely riddled it'd go about the same.
This says more about you than it does about them. You probably come across as homophobic; given your opinions on the board, people coming to this conclusion wouldn't be wrong. If I knew I was in front of a homophobe in person, I'd do one of two things: a) not come out to them if they had any sort of power over me, or b) gay it up to annoy them, and talk about the most degenerate things I can think of.
Gay or "LGBT"? Because one is a sexual orentation while the other is a Marxism advocacy group.
I actually split it between LGBTs and LGBT radicals. Gay kinda excludes lesbian, bisexuals (like me!), and definitely excludes trans, and I wanted to refer to them all as a group of sexual orientations along with transgender people. Its a convenient group that includes a group that has worked together politically for a long while. Sometimes the particular LGBT group is a bunch of Marxists. Usually, the regular members of every LGBT group just want equal rights, and members don't care what the other things the group leader believes in are, which can lead to problems.
Except the 'T'. Not sure why they're in there.
T's are there because of history, similar political goals (gay marriage was a loophole for straight trans people who couldn't legally change gender, for example), and an initial lack of firm separation between trans people, drag people, and crossdressers, so they all got lumped in together.
