14. Their goal has been met by the LGBT community

No minority has ever been handed their equal rights by the people in power. Everyone has had to fight for decades to be recognized officially as equal. Why not get into the mindset that now that you have all the rights of everyone else, you'll fight to retain them instead of complaining about the past.

Because as a woman I guarantee that the day will come when some white asshole men will do their best to take away your hard earned rights.
