Pure politics, that is why it is lumped together nothing more. Just remember that politics is far more than who gets elected. Aids was the first "political disease", where politics so overpowered the merely medical that nonsensical ways of dealing with it were created to avoid hurting the feelings of the victims.

The whole LGBT way of life is politics played out on the retail stage. It is not about sexuality it is about power and control over people's own life. If it truly were about the sexuality there would be little connections between the various parts of the L G B & T communities each is mostly separate unto itself with their own issues and their own agendas.

What is remarkable is that these separate communities have been able to remain basically together at all given their lack of togetherness in other areas of life.
