TBH I feel that when same sex marriage got legalized was when things got worse.

Back when we had landmark advancements in 2013, I remember trans members of the LGBT club saying "Yay yay. We're celebrating with you guys but don't forget about us alright?" And it put a weird energy in the room.

I saw their point that trans rights are further behind but it stood out to me just how different the communities were. And how if one community feels they're winning the fight and the other is behind, that can cause tension.

I think even internally, there's been an increase in hostility towards white gay men. Like it wasn't until after same sex marriage get ratified that I noticed more rhetoric being directed towards them, or open conversations in the Pride center about "disliking white people" or how "we cant be racist to them" (im not exaggerating). Im black btw

It felt like one of those moments when an army wins a war and then you get that "now what?" moment. And then it collapses to infighting.

Not saying that gay issues are non existent but it feels like the infighting has increased.
