What they aren't is a priority anymore. Well, actually that may not be correct, the priority has sifted to removing our gains in those areas, not advancing them.

& done Pride Festival work with have all been white & wealthy, all but 2 were male. It is almost as though their money & status were more important parts of their personality then their 'queerness'. Money sort of protects them; a wealthy gay hotel owner in NYC hosted an event for Ted Cruz, that is mind boggling and appalling.
