People who claim queer identity while dating members of the opposite sex (but with a septum piercing) are destroying the community from the inside out. We can’t remove them, because in truth they outnumber us and have overwhelmed our defences. Same thing happened to the autistic community- normies for whom these identities are an aesthetic have colonised the movement, and now use their superior numbers to silence the original activists.

And as the OG LGBT activists had already accomplished most of what they wanted, we just go back to our normal and fairly integrated lives while the animated corpse of our movement becomes more and more insane.

I think LGBTQ is not a very useful category because it includes all people who are non-conventional about their sex lives, romantic lives, self-expression and body. Only non-conventionality holds it together, it is a political alliance.

If Alan likes dick, Bob likes make-up but chases women and Charles wants his dick off, the only thing they have together is that conservatives won't like this, so they are allies against that, but otherwise these don't have much to do with each other.
