I am happy that gay rights are moving forward, but it sucks to sometimes find that cisgendered people for gay rights, including some gay and lesbian people themselves, can be a little hostile towards transgendered people for one reason or another. Gay marriage just kicked in in my state 9 days ago.Yeah, there's still a lot of work to be done. Â Mainstream gay rights organizations like HRC have even sacrificed trans issues to try and appear more mainstream. Â Organizations have done that with us bi/pan folks too but not to the same extent.
