The modern LGBTQ+ rights movement didn’t start in boardrooms; it started in the streets, led largely by transgender women of color. Figures like and Sylvia Rivera were at the forefront of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. At the time, the distinction between "gay" and "transgender" was less rigid in the public eye—everyone who defied traditional gender and sexual norms was grouped together.
In recent years, small marginal factions have argued for the separation of sexual orientation from gender identity in political advocacy. Groups advocating to "drop the T" argue that the legal and social goals of cisgender LGB people differ fundamentally from those of trans people. However, major global human rights organizations (such as the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, and ILGA) strongly reject this separation, maintaining that liberation is impossible without trans inclusion.
