So let's talk about LGBTQIACDEFHJKMNOPRSUVWXYZ rights, and be done with it. Let's include all people and orientations, equally. Have a twitter hashtag for all. You'll be promoting equality. Why wait years or even decades to add more and more letters?
Totally respectful...
Yes, it was. But it was also pointing that it's implicitly ignoring a vast number of vulnerable groups, from Anorexics to Zulus. Why do we not talk about their rights instead? Why are we campaigning for the dismorphias of transgenders to be accepted as normal, while few are complaining about the kidnapping, imprisonment and torture of the dismorphia from anorexia? Is it any crazier having your penis sliced off because you "feel" you're a woman, than it is to not eat 2000 calories a day because you "feel" you're fat?
Anorexics to Zulus, I say. Screw your exclusionary worldview, kerowo, and your ignorance of letters not on your list. You probably would have denied the trans people inclusion on that list, because the LGBs are what mattered before there was a T and an I.

The point is that the choice of people to help, to focus on, is arbitrary. Gays have a rogeringly good time these days. If a gay guy called Milo who often talks about how he sucks black dicks, can rise to prominence on the backs of people you call white supremacists (this is your claim!) - typically associated with gay-hate as much as black-hate - then the gay thing is over. They won! You've proven it yourself.
Now is the time to move on to other people who need our help.
