Also, in the US it was the weight of gay-supportive straight women's opinions and votes(!) that got politicians to pass gay rights bills.

IMO, if it were up to heterosexual men over 45 now, gay rights would have languished. I think a lot of straight men over 45 still don't truly support gay rights - they might tolerate them, but I wouldn't say they would go out and fight for them like some straight women did.
