I'm with ya on that sister! (though I don't have a lesbian mom..
Whats difficult about the LGB and T question is that our experiences make us biased toward one direction or another, if an LGB member helped you when needed it you would think, yeah this is great, however, if you have a bad experience then you think its a bad idea. All I really had is bad experiences, but that doesnt mean i hate LGB people, i have a lot of LGB friends and I love them very much, in a person to person setting we are all just people, just something snaps when we are in a group. Its almost a mob mentality, the majority rules and their agendas come before ours. Think back to when you were a kid or perhaps playing online games, when a goal is accomplished how many people stick together to help someone missing something or another, not many, which is my biggest concern, once gay rights are accomplished most likely we will be on our own anyway, or perhaps have a few members stand with us.
Another problem is that a lot of T are stealth, and becoming vocal means outing yourself. Outing yourself means you lost the one thing you really wanted, to be treated the way you always should have been, but sometimes I guess you have to sacrifice for the greater good. So in a way i can see the good in LGB, because they talk for us in some respects, and we dont have to out ourselves, but like said before, will they still be speaking for us when the fight for them is over?
