6. Something many don't seem to find interesting or concerning.

When the news was looking toward a positive reaction to marriage equality, many started backing companies who were willing to drop "domestic partner policies" and couldn't see the forest for the trees. In areas where equality wasn't going to be limited to marriage, it seemed like it could be a positive thing, but many companies were based in or had locations in places described above. Too many, including a number of GLBT people, think the battle for our equality is over; it isn't. The discrimination in the article is quite real and does happen, then there is the homophobia, in general, and one can't have this discussion without mentioning the on-going heterosexist attitudes and actions which are often daily issues. Sadly, battling discrimination against GLBT people doesn't seem to be "en vogue" anymore and many turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the problems occurring.
