New research finds that gay men and lesbian women are disproportionately represented in the anti-war and environmental movements.
Social activism is on the rise, especially on the political left. But who are the people who actually get off the couch and devote time and effort to supporting a cause?
Disproportionately, they are gay men and lesbian women.
"Lesbians, gays, and bisexuals were more than twice as likely as heterosexuals to join anti-war, environmental, and anti-corporate movements," writes Eric Swank of Arizona State University. This may reflect the fact that they are "more aware, and less accepting, of social inequalities than heterosexuals."
"LGBs were roughly twice as likely as heterosexuals to join the peace, environmental, and Occupy Wall Street movements as heterosexuals," he writes. No similar sexual-orientation gap was found for the other campaigns.
So if your social justice organization is looking for recruits, the local LGBT communities are good places to start. When your sexual orientation puts you in the minority, sometimes leading to discrimination and scorn, the personal becomes political.

Sorry, but all these causes mentioned are evil and won’t actually help them “save the world”.
What’s the large island (green) to the southwest of India?
They’re working overtime to put everyone into an early grave.
It’s encouraging to learn that some of the most deeply depraved among us are playing such a prominent role of bringing this once great nation to its knees.
Well, definitely not the trannies, since the T is now gone ;)
They enjoy the aTtEnTiOn from flaunting their deviancies in public. Oooh, a parade! Sign them up. Oooh, there’s a protest that might have tv cameras and interviews! Sign them up. Oooh, there’s an opportunity to brag about doing a good deed! Sign them up.
Working hard to save the world from Salvation.
Working hard to save the world for Communism.
They have to believe in a temporal utopia because they reject the Holy God who made them.
Yep!
“This may reflect the fact that they are “more aware, and less accepting, of social inequalities...”
This may reflect the fact that they are on welfare, not working, taking money from the Nazi Soros, and thus, have the time and cash to engage in social protest.

Parents who feel responsibility to give attention to their kids ... and struggle to put food on the table for big families ... are at a disadvantage in all social movements.
The #1 reason senior citizens suddenly become visible in conservative groups is that their #1 priority was family. Now the kids are grown. Seniors, even fully employed seniors have far more time.
Adults who don’t have kids, or who don’t give attention to kids, have far more time available for other things. The movement becomes the family. When I was single, the movement was my family. When my kids were small I shifted from player to observer. When my teenagers no longer wanted me babysitting them, I became a player again.
Rare is the family where both parents support involvement, even when they agree on the issues and candidates.
Conclusion, Most LGBTQX do not have kids. They have time on their hands. They like attention that they can get in movements.
How does anti-corporate Communism save the world?

The members of the Weather Underground swing both ways. Just ask Bill Ayers, he wrote about it in his book; they did it to “smash monogamy”.
Rev. Jim Jones anally penetrated the high ranking male members of his “church” and was friends with Harvey Milk.
Heck, even Hitler’s guys had their homosexuals onboard.
Such primadonna elitists.

They are disproportionately represented in the media, in general.
