Reads as if girls and women have equality achieved and all is ok for us, so now the focus must be exclusively on gay rights.

At the time of this article, bio at HP - "Kristina Schake is a Board Member at the American Foundation for Equal Rights"
I take no issue with her. The article lays out how I recall evolution of our equal fights for equal rights. Good summary.

But somewhere we got lost and I want to know definitively who we can rely on to be consistent in advocating for females. UN Women isn't it, that's for sure.
Because Trump won instead of Hillary.

"Chad Griffin wasted no time pivoting, leading the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT civil rights lobbying organization, into a historic national partnership with women and other minority groups in the exploding Resistance movement and building political power."
Announced he was leaving HRC in 2019. They've scrubbed the article from their website. ?
I can't find an archived copy. Unsure why it's scrubbed. Hmm.

Jo Becker (also on twitter) wrote a book about this push for gay rights. Not everyone is happy with the book apparently.
Anyway, i'm just following resources here
2014 article about her book https://newrepublic.com/article/117418/jo-beckers-forcing-spring-undersells-gay-advocates

Kamala Harris is a good friend of Chad.
"“Every person in the Democratic Party who is thinking of running for president is going to call Chad,” said Dan Pfeiffer, a White House adviser to President Barack Obama and longtime friend of Griffin." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/human-rights-campaign-chad-griffin-resignation_n_5bedc1ebe4b081620b4f47bc

“It really wasn’t enough for him for elected officials and candidates to respect the LGBTQ community,” said Kristina Schake, Griffin’s former business partner. “He wanted them to fear them — to fear the power of their vote.”
He wanted them to fear.
He wanted them to fear.
"Griffin, 45, got his start in politics working in President Bill Clinton’s White House press office. Before joining HRC, he was co-founder of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, an organization that challenged the California law banning same-sex marriage."
"That effort was a precursor to the Supreme Court’s verdict on gay marriage nationwide."
So he used women to hide behind, used women's fight for rights to his own ends, while instilling fear in anyone he had to so that he could get his way.
Of course he did.
Of course he did.
Jo Becker, author of Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality, which was released in early 2014. The book was criticized by LGBT advocates.

He's mad that he wasn't mentioned in her book. And he's a man, so he's really really mad. A wave of gay men then came out publicly shortly afterwards in 2014.

"Cook’s public declaration that he is gay comes a little more than two months after Robert Hanson -the former CEO of American Eagle Outfitters Inc.- wrote a piece for Time in which he talked about being an openly gay man for as long as he’s been in business and running companies"
"Hanson is currently the CEO of luxury jewelry brand John Hardy. There are no other publicly gay CEOs of major companies.
United Therapeutics Corp. CEO Martine Rothblatt, who was born male and is now female, has been open about her transgender status"

"In response to the news, Human Rights Campaign (HRC) President Chad Griffin issued the following statement: “Tim Cook‘s announcement today will save countless lives."
Go back to that Washington Blade article linked above as it's packed with details.
"Ironically, like Bill Clinton, Griffin hales from Hope, Ark., and wound up serving in the Clinton White House press office as the youngest staffer ever at age 19."

"When Griffin announced he was leaving HRC in 2019 after seven years of service, Hillary Clinton was one of the first to respond."
There's the strongest tie to women. That's where this started.

Not her fault, i'm just baffled by how females have been not only deserted but worse - they're pushing young girls as sex objects and to have surgery to alter their bodies.
So this is how we got here. I don't feel better but at least I understand it better.

One of the women I follow said weeks ago that this is single issue for her - that it's necessary to keep the focus on female rights because we always get taken advantage of, and I agreed. And this shows me how right she was to see that and say it.
Look at all the men in power who stood up and spoke out. Where were the lesbians in power?
Women in power were reduced to quotes within articles advocating for men.

And just to throw more insight onto this, check this out from 2017. Does today's UK news re: Corbyn shed further light?

Ironic.
