From insurgency to establishment.

 
I don't regret the years I spent campaigning to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, and transgender people.  I do not support today's organized LGBT movement because it has stopped being a quest for justice and has become an exercise in raw power.  

The anti-gay social conservatives of an earlier generation often claimed that "homosexuals are trying to destroy society" which certainly is not true.  What is true, however, is that the leftist LGBT organizations really are trying to destroy society - not because they're gay but because they're leftist, and that's what leftists do.

Gay advocacy groups are far from unique in this regard.  Since the early 20th century, the left has successfully marketed itself to minority groups - workers, Jews (in Europe and America), black Americans, other ethnic minorities, and gay people - as the "protector of the oppressed".  But this "protection" comes at a price:  eternal loyalty to the left is demanded.  And in order to justify its perpetual claim on that loyalty, the left has an interest in perpetuating the prejudices - or at least, the perception of the prejudices - that it claims to fight.
