This issue is about solidarity; the trans community is asking the
rest of the queer community to forgo a realistic opportunity so that
an affiliated group can share the benifit. We need to ask the
question; what is the trans communities history of demonstrating
solidarity with others? Unfortunately, it is not a good one.
Transgender people have gained the right to get married, and even have
their marriages recognised as legal at the federal level; something
which the rest of us will not have even if we manage to save our right
to marry under state law in November.
