@nerthos I saw the same thing firsthand when I was campaigning for gay rights as a younger lass.  You had the people who wanted just the ability to have the relationships we desired and be able to marry, and then the people who wanted 'gay' to be a special status and confer privileges.

Nowadays the LGB lobby is mostly just the latter, because well, in all but some really third-world sort of places, most people can have gay relationships just fine and that's all the rest of us asked for.
