Radical Lesbian Separatism in LGBT Activism: Hyding in Plain Sight?

You can't simply ignore people inside the "LGBT" community who foster hatred and fear against you. There are lesbian radical feminists in the community that wish to "challenge the practice of ->-bleeped-<-". I don't wish to silence dialogue, but there's a certain line of what is acceptable to discuss in public. Gay rights icon, Bayard Rustin said:

    "Our job is not to get those people who dislike us to love us. Nor was our aim in the civil rights movement to get prejudiced white people to love us. Our aim was to try to create the kind of America, legislatively, morally, and psychologically, such that even though some whites continued to hate us, they could not openly manifest that hate."
