What are you talking about? Where don't LGBT people fit? Personally, I think it makes more sense to blame the people who "despise" groups of people than it does to blame groups of people they despise.

 

Also, lucky for us that we have the capacity to focus on more than one thing at a time. So we can deal with security, and domestic issues at the same time.

Oh really? You think putting up the LGBT/gender meshing crowd as the current face of western society is a good idea to the people who are trying to blow up Europe one piece at a time is a good idea? You think not focusing on the actual peoples welfare (migrants and all) instead of their gender is first on the to do list? Anyway, you are proving my growing suspicion that a soviet cold war mind fuck worked on the west and we are slowly but obendiently sleep walking off a cliff.  I'm aware of how ridiculous that sounds but what sounds more ridiculous is a teacher not being able to call there students "girl, lady, madam or woman" under penalty of law. Trump is more ridiculous. Stutnex is more ridiculous. Turkey's "security measures" are more ridiculous. The Brexit is more ridiculous. And above all, this pronoun list is insane... 

As a Marxist, I can tell you socio-economic problems are always at the forefront (as they also were in the Soviet Union). The economic structure is the foundation of society on which culture is built. The economy keeps its culture standing and the culture tries to keep the economic model in place. It seems you care about welfare (which is extremely important as to the material base of people), but you seem to reverse your stance on culture to the dominant culture that keeps in place discrimination and unequal acces to welfare as well as makes LGTB emancipation more complex then it should be.

Don't forget, while economic structures are important, if you don't try to change the culture as well (as Gramsci knew), you'll be running against a brick wall.

That's what I think you're going after, but you seem a bit confused to be honest.
