ABSTRACT
This book concludes by looking at the future of LGBTQ lobbying. The future of lobbying is trans. The history of LGBTQ lobbying is also trans. The hope is that now the entire LGBTQ advocacy community will put its resources and business models to work toward an intersectional model to educate the public, address police violence, decriminalize sex work, protect trans women of color, and provide a much longer (and normal) life expectancy. This chapter also notes the way privilege can be leveraged in such organizations as Q Street. In addition, this discussion revisits the question “who gets what, when and how” from the position of LGBTQ lobbying. These alternatives offer examples of life that reposition the importance of diversity, race, sex, gender, transness, queerness, ability, and class alongside whiteness, maleness, and heterosexuality so there is more than simply equity, but a redistribution of power across multiple oppressions. Finally, this chapter concludes with a critical discussion of the role and place of Pride parades in the LGBTQ community.
