Sadly, there is a fair bit of bigotry in the LGBTIQA+ community - racism, biphobia, transphobia and unchecked privilege (usually from white gay men) among the issues that occur. :(

Which is quite astonishing if you think about it. It wasn't too long
ago the LGBT+ community was shoulder to shoulder in the streets
fighting for equal rights.
I'm reminded of a photo I saw not long ago of an inter-racial couple at
a rally protesting same-sex marriage. "Protect Traditional Marriage"
was their slogan if I remember correctly.
I guess those who don't bother to learn their history are doomed to
repeat it?

Hmm, so we have to marry for political gain, not love?
Exactly. I've never understood why so many people are concerned with what others are doing.
Just because someone likes A and I like B doesn't mean either of us is wrong it just means I like something different than that person. I'm certainly no going to run out and lobby the government to make it illegal for them to lik A.

Some people don't seem to grasp the concept of "live and let live".
