Same-sex marriage is legalized, and suddenly all of the people fighting for it have two options: (1) stop and go home and be happy that you achieved your goal, or (2) continue to fight and just find something else to fight for/about/over.

You're not wrong, but I do think it's worth remembering that for the people who were employed by a LGBT organizations, if they decided, "Well done, that's over now," then their employers would be closing up shop and they'd be out of a job. So they were incentivized. I'm trying to imagine a hypothetical situation in which that wouldn't be the case, and I'm coming up blank. How do you avoid that?
