Who is making those waves? Libtards who are just using every single minority to play their "divide et impera" game. In the end they will throw these people under the bus, as they did already in Iran.
No matter if it's gays, black people, women, trans people or who ever...
But of course there are also enough stoopid people belonging to one of these "surpressed" groups, who think that the left really is interested in them - or just feel good because getting attention. Some of them are just attention whores who are fighting depression or other mental problems. So it's just easy to manipulate them.
