from their depictions in ancient myth (that are brought to life on the silver screen in modern retellings) to the less-sensational, yet stirring biopics of sometimes seemingly mythical, but actual flesh and blood persons who have helped shape our world, there is certainly no shortage of heroic women and men.

chances are, however, that it is the unsung hero that has likely had the most impact on our lives.

• Trump’s administration started rolling back two controversial legal provisions related to the Affordable Care Act: protections against discrimination based on gender identity, and based on the termination of a pregnancy. – The Atlantic

• The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law. – The New York Times

• The United States Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce his policy of banning certain transgender people from the military.

^^^ none of this has anything to do with gay, lesbian or bisexual people. Trans and intersex people should be a separate group. Gay, lesbian and bisexual people are cis-gender, so they have more in common with the heterosexual majority.

There should be two groups: LGBH (lesbian, gay, bisexual and heterosexual) and T & I (trans and intersex).

As for Trump planning to overturn same-sex marriage ... really?! That really is a first world problem ...

I also live in the UK and Cofty is pretty much spot on.

AFAIK, the situation for homosexual people in the US is very similar to the one in western Europe.

@Expanded-Mind, in what sense is the fight for gay rights and equality still a pressing issue in the US?
