If you told LGB people 10 years ago that earning rights would lead to the T ideology of today, they would've thought you were crazy. The cause wasn't gay marriage, it was poor leadership and overinclusivity. I think that the marriage rights were unrelated for the most part. If there is any connection, it is that the T saw the victory as the perfect opportunity to join themselves to us, which is like blaming someone who got robbed because their new job allowed them to earn more money.

It may be true that if we were still opressed by the religious bigots on the Right, then we wouldn't be the victims of the religious bigots on the Left, but I'd hardly call it a true causation.
