By twisting words around and claiming it's simply "the right to exist" when these laws never stop that from happening.

It's not a right to play on whatever sports team you feel most comfortable on but let the lgbt side tell it and that's equal to murder or bigotry. As if kids haven't had their sports privileges taken away for getting low grades. Trans people should be able to use the pronouns and identity they want without violence or discrimination but treating privileges and experimental treatments as if they're self evident rights is what the right is pushing back against

Look at the Kansas bill about sports for example, every activist claimed that it was mandating genital inspections while the law said nothing about that, just that sports are split by either male, female, or mixed. Or the law in TN banning drag shows, people twisted it to say being trans in public was made illegal when the law banned any sexual performance from public spaces where kids are present. In effect only banning drag queen story hour but for some reason people need to use hyperbole and twist words to support their cause

Stop watching Vice first of all.

Progress has stalled because barely anybody cares about making progress. Like virtually every other identity-based movement, it has been willingly given over to corporate and capital interests to do whatever they please with. Progress (i.e., material change and organization taking action towardd it) has been gleefully replaced with "progress" in the mainstream, where the utmost importance is put on images, symbols, and identification that will never result in anything more than superficial distractions for people who are bored and unfulfilled in their middle-class existence.

Legalizing gay marriage wasn't even much progress to begin with. The biggest change that resulted from legal gay marriage was same-sex couples being eligible for marital tax benefits. Gay couple could always have a ceremony and spend their lives together like any other married couple. There is nothing special about the state officially recognizing your relationship.

That empty sentiment is just the capstone in the bullshit mainstreaming of gayness (and other subcultures) that has been going on for the past 35 years. Asking "why has progress stalled" today is stupid. It's been stalled for over three decades ever since idea of making gay people safe enough for mainstream consumers to enjoy started being celebrated.

It's still insane to me that legalizing gay marriage was such a media blockbuster when fortune 500 companies and regional powerhouses have always (and still) tailor the language of their training and disclosure materials to either include or omit protections against employment discrimination in regards to sexual orientation based on which state they are hiring you in, or sometime which state the company is headquartered in.

Watching s*** like that Vice video or scrolling through social media looking for anti-gay bullshit all day can make anything feel dangerous. Sensation isn't reality. Unless you're living in a 1200 population Mississippi or Alabama town where local bars wont let you inside if you're hat is turned backwards, there's no rational reason for any gay person living in metro-America to feel in danger. If gay people were actually in danger then we would see a lot more of actual action and collectivism towards material change instead of a s*** ton of "ong did you see this? i am scared" reactions to fearmongering media nonsense.
