Quote from: Ponykit on June 26, 2015, 02:06:55 PMI hope that something good happens for transgender people too, but can't LGB people be happy about the fact that they can get married to who they want now? Not trying to be mean, just saying.The issue isn't that gay marriage being legal isn't worth celebrating, it's that for many allies the issue ends at gay marriage. it is good that it's legal but I just wish the issues of homeless lgbt youth, the death rate of trans women and Especially trans women of color got as much publicity.The lgb community isn't without blame either lol, I'm sure chicago pride will be awesome this Sunday but me and my girlfriend aren't going because she's a trans women and a lot of the lgb community round here is pretty trans exclusionary... So not so awesome

I'm really surprised that anyone who considers themselves an LGBT ally thinks that this ruling is the end of all struggles for the LGBT community. But then neither do I understand women who claim that we no longer need feminism. Nor people who deny racism is still a massive systemic issue. The white male still hold the majority of power and privileged...until we are all considered to have equal value and rights as him, none of these battles is over.
I've seen a lot of people getting upset with allies for saying/acting like this is the end and everything's good now, but I have to admit, I haven't seen anyone actually claiming that. I'd imagine some must think that, but is it really all that common?
