There are two things going on. One is money and the second is that from the 1990s on, trans activists targeted LGB organizations for infiltration and takeover.

The trans activists were quite open about their plans - they needed LGB for the money, organization and numbers - and they took what they wanted, Trojan Horsing LGB organizations that they have now taken over.

Former LBB orgs, GLAAD and Human Rights Campaign are now very openly about trans activism. LGB have been forgotten even though it was their hard work that paved the way.

Totally! The hijacking of LGB organizations sickens me. I don't understand why LGB didn't fight back and say no. As soon as the "Minor Attracted Persons" get as deeply entrenched, LGB will HAVE to separate (from their OWN organizations). What is that species of bird that lays its eggs in another species' nest? That's what AGP have done.

They are called cuckoo birds. I've compared them to that myself too.

Yes, thanks! Is that why "cuckoo" is used to mean crazy?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Have you been over to s/LGBDroptheT ?

It's a SAIDIT sub for LGB and their allies who want to separate their organizations and issues from transgenders, because LGB and T have different needs and goals.

In the UK, there is the LGB Alliance, which just started a US chapter.
