   I wonder if LGBT+ has reached its peak usefulness. Because it seems to be more about what is trendy for where the focus is.
   
   When we were focused on gay marriage, in a way that meant that bisexuals and trans people took a back seat in their needs. Now that gay people can marry in the west, the focus has moved onto trans issues. So now the needs of gay people take a back seat or even get erased. Even lesbians are being erased, their needs and comfort are diminished. On saying this, I have never seen bisexuals get specific attention so that their needs are met. It's always in relation to same sex coupling.
   
   But really each group has their unique needs and rights which require careful consideration and then to ensure that those rights aren't rolled back to a point that is detrimental to them and society at large.

     The issue is that people are being hammered with propaganda so fast that shit can't help but burn through absolutely everything now. "Activism" is basically just about to die miserably in the near future

     @coolboymew Yeah, and there is always something else to move onto next. I don't think that social media has helped this either, because that seems to be where a lot of this is platformed now.
