* why is transgender part of lgbt *
The LGBTQ+ rights movement the send half of the 20th century was predomantly referred to as the “gay rights movement”, reflectg the term gay beg ed for a range of genrs and sexuali.
At different pots and different plac, the acronym has been expand to clu a range of other experienc, cludg Queer, Asexual, Pansexual, and some people pla that the acronym is growg too long, and that the clud inti aren’t as real or important, g umbrella terms that clu all is a great way of referrg to our shared experienc, jt like how lbian, gay, bisexual and trans people did when g the acronym e of terms queer, LGBTQA+ (wh the pl symbolisg the rt of the letters), diverse genrs and sexuali, or genr and sexual mori n be helpful, bee they’re simple and still nta anyone who wants to be clud unr them.

They’d rather have no bill at all than pass one that didn’t clu the to another rear, who is very sympathetic to the plight of transgenr Amerins but don’t see their stggle for civil rights as que the same as their gay and lbian peers:I know a number of people who intify as trans. But the least we owe people who are unfortable wh this is to expla the se for a way they n unrstand, and pecially an effort to treat their ncerns to Liam, who touch on another flt le between some transgenr activists and gay activists:Outsi the media glare, there are lbian and gay folk out there who view the trends dimensn of T activism today wh some ncern, pecially that may be a way for *SOME* lbian and gay youth to be led prematurely to a T rears have wrten along those l, so I’ll save them for a separate note.
