"First the good news: We are on the cusp of an epic shift in the public face of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the United States. But now the bad news: The LGBT movement is focusing on conservative issues like tax reforms, rights of inheritance and enacting state laws to approximate marriage for same-sex couples. The increasing number of visible LGBTs will not translate into political strength until we develop an agenda that speaks to the needs of all gay people, not just the privileged few"
