Faefyx Collington writing for the top Queer News-site, LGBTQ Nation, has firm words for that small minority of gay men and women who are trying to distance our movement from trans people. Collington writes "As trans rights issues have entered the mainstream discourse, there’s been a growing vocal minority in the LGBTQ+ community who want to separate the fight for gender-based rights from those related to sexual orientation. With the Supreme Court seeming open to overturning conversion therapy bans with the support of LGB-without-the-T groups, the queer community is split in a perfect illustration of Niemöller’s “First They Came.” Whether it’s Gays Against Groomers (GAG), the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), or the UK’s LGB Alliance and its spin-off LGB International, there are activist groups out there who are so driven by anti-trans hate that they are willing to sell out their own hard-fought-for rights to eliminate trans rights. These are members of the queer community who think that since marriage equality has passed and political hate is directed elsewhere, they can pull the ladder up behind them and forget about the trans people who helped them." Colington notes that these anti-trans factions, who we must emphasise are small in comparison to the inclusive LGBTQIA movement, have actually come out in favour of anti-gay conversion therapy practiced by fringe Christian and other fundamentalist cults.
