“gay marriage is legal, what more do YOU PEOPLE want????”
so many things, thanks for asking!
an end to conversion therapy for gay and trans youth
repeal of laws which legalize discrimination against lgbt+ people if it’s derived from “sincerely held religious beliefs”
recognition and protection for lgbt+ people on the international stage
reduction in the rates of suicide, depression, and homelessness among lgbt+ people
to be able to google ‘lesbian’ without seeing pornography
an end to the sexualization and fetishization of lgbt+ people in general, particularly wlw and trans women
legislation to add workplace protections for trans and gay people in all 50 states
repeal of “bathroom bills” that bar trans folk from using the appropriate rest rooms
recognition and remembrance for the countless individuals who died from HIV/AIDS and repartitions for the survivors
an end to the “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses
media representation that doesn’t end with the characters’ deaths
marriage equality was not the finish line.
