To gay men in the LGBT community,
From the outcome of the 2012 election results, some comments when hearing you shout gains for LGBT people.
Do not use LGBT for LGB issues which passed and people elected, unless transgender people are included in the result. Same sex marriage only works for those transpeople who are gay or lesbian, not straight. It doesn't help them if they're still transgender.
Do not use LGBT when the elected official is gay or lesbian. They're not transgender.
Do not use LGBT for political gains that isn't transgender inclusive and may even be transgender exclusive because it only benefited LGB people.
Do not stand up and shout LGBT unless it's all LGBT people. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut. Transgender people don't want to hear you if they're not included.
