I appreciate parts of the message, but have a couple concerns.

1) As several other people have observed before, LGB Alliance seems to often pick fights to battle that don't have anything to do with gay/bisexual people's rights. Is this ad about women's sex-based rights... or about all same sex attracted people's rights? I think the ad may be a persuasive one for women's same-sex rights but gives a poor case for how the transgender movement is perpetuating homophobia towards lesbian women. All I know from this ad is that gay women are being banned from apps for refusing to date male transwomen... which is true but it's just one specific type of homophobia, among many others which are not mentioned.

2) Oversimplification of how these issues play out in politics. E.g. saying "Go vote!" with no description of who to vote for or what policies are harmful.

It's attention-grabbing on the main issues prior to the elections today.
