Shut them down. Shut them all down unless you want all of our hard earned gains to be reversed.

These orgs have NO BUSINESS representing ANYONE.

The problem is, these organizations now get regular contributions from big corporations that simply hand them the money with little oversight of their mission, so these LGBTQ+ orgs are no longer beholden to the constituencies they claim to represent. The real point of these organizations is to continue to support a small class of professional activists, so they feel they need to be seen on "the cutting edge," and transgender is now that cutting edge.

I'm old enough to remember when Gay & Lesbian organizations were grassroots and were supported by donations from lesbians and gay men. Back then, we had control because we could withhold our contributions. At present, they don't care about what we think.

Just like LGB Alliance today.

And lesbians were underground - just like we are nowadays again.

Full circle of homophobia, we are back in 60-70s.
