Gay marriage has been so successful because it just so happens that some gay people are rich white guys. This is also evidenced in the fact that the gay rights movement has been co-opted solely by white male gay marriage advocates, while gay rights issues that affect youth, women, people of color, and queens of lesser means have fallen by the wayside. I may be 28, but I still remember a time when gay marriage was so unrealistic that all we could do was focus on serving these marginalized communities.
