3ways gay rights agenda has perpetuated oppression

"The gay rights movement has won rights and recognition that largely serve the interests of white, wealthy cisgender gay men to the detriment of poor queers and queer people of color, and to the detriment of racial and economic justice more generally.

Again, these are victories for the only most enfranchised gay people. Thus, they are mechanisms for perpetuating injustice."

I've never thought of institution of marriage in depth and agreed that LGBTQA could start with marriage for equal rights movement for visibility for wider rights. After reading this article it completely changed my idea on marriage for LGBTQA community and the underline of what marriage is.
