weren't they also always there?

Well, it's complicated. They were always there. Take the pedophiles. NAMBLA marched in Gay Pride parades for years, but in the 80s and 90s, gay activism started to become more professional. To that end, especially after the child sexual abuse scandals of the 1980s, gay activism started to clean house. NAMBLA was finally expelled from mainstream gay activism, both on ethical grounds and because they were a liability.

Under Elizabeth Birch's leadership (1995-2004) the Human Rights Campaign focused on LGB issues, and the TQ+ crowd despised her for it. But she understood that her mandate was to win battles against sodomy laws and military bans. She seems to have understood the implications of trans demands and how they could derail LGB progress.

But then came social media and sites like Tumblr that essentially recruited and created a whole new TQ+ demographic, and since 2014, they have hijacked LGB activism and used the social legitimacy that we created to try to claim the same thing for themselves.

i didn't knew about the existence of such a group... and that they used to march with the gay pride, that's actually very, very concerning...

So we are going full circle i guess, all the weirdos are now coming out of the shadow again, since they considere that we and them are the same, and do not understand why they couldn't impose their reality to the world. i hope that we will never ever associate with the tq+ or anyone else ever again, because it only means more troubles for every single generations.
