It's a good thing the Stonewall riots didn't happen now because if they did, you'd have people saying "this is the sort of thing that turns people away from the left".
Not really, and it's unfair to paint such a glib picture. Back then, bigotry and prejudice was not just common, but deliberately spiteful. Even people who perhaps didn't fully support the campaigns could easily recognise and accept that a lot of people were being discriminated against.
Society has come a long, long way. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. And we still need to continue the progressive path.
But campaigners and the topics campaigned on now seem different. When I was a lefty activist in the 90's, I was part of anti-racism campaigns, the organisers and participants of which were multi-race. The general idea of anti-racism was 'colourblind' - ie, that the colour of one's skin and racial background should be a total irrelevance to how people view each other. Now - and this seems an import from America - anti-racism includes demands for what appears to be segregation for different racial/cultural groups. The demands seems to be 'recognise me as a different race/culture but treat me no differently to anyone else'. It's counter-intuitive: "I'm different to you, but not different"
Similarly with the trans movement. There's been prejudice undoubtedly - the sniggering and jokes, not always discreet. But until fairly recently it seemed accepted that to secure the 'legal' (again, for want of a better word) rights of a woman, a trans person had to fully transition physically to female.
Now the argument is that trans people who identify as a female shouldn't have to physically transition to female to secure that 'legal' status. I lean heavily towards 'cis' women (I've only today learned WTF that means) who express alarm that a person who is physically male but self-identifies as a female, should have access to their 'safe places' and other 'legal' rights.
I don't view 'cis' women that hold that position to be bigoted. And I recoil at the bile thrown in the direction of such women by trans-activists. As do the vast majority of people I know. Why should trans rights trample over women's rights?
If I've got the position of trans-activists wrong, then please explain because I genuinely mean no offence.
