I've heard plenty of trans folks and bi/pansexuals say that the worst discrimination they receive is from the gay community.
I credit gays for fighting for the safe spaces they've deservedly won. But we should hope for more in an oppressive system than for the chance to do the oppressing.
I think the real problem is that one of the sole goals of the LGBT community was essentially "accept us in to the bourgeois marriage construct," so as soon as that was done, bourgeois LGB people could flake because they can't immediate gain anything from supporting other LGB people. Pure Liberalism.

There are the folks who celebrate Stonewall and then there are the folks who think Obergfell could have happened without it.
