The backlash is already brewing in the US: According to the annual poll done by the former gay and lesbian rights organization, GLAAD, now all-transgender, all-the-time, LGBTQ acceptance is drastically falling among Millennials, especially women.

I'm betting it's the T and the Q causing problems, because not even the most Woke has the time to tiptoe around their endless, irritating, demands.

This was done exactly by design. Nonprofits exist only as long as the social problems that they’re - ostensibly - trying to fix. If LGBT gain several significant legal victories, and if social acceptance continues to reach new highs, then funding will start to decline.

GLAAD has a vested interest in constantly sounding the alarm on LGBT rights regardless of how much progress we’ve made.

They also forget that there're countries outside of the west where things are not so well for gays. Why not focus their power on this issue, on pressuring Saudi Arabia to humane laws?
