Like the Religious Reich and the conservafool movement, Gay Inc. twists words and phrases for propaganda value and effect as well to pimp its message. As a TransGriot public service, it's time to enlighten you on some of the ones you'll see crop us in the Gayosphere, their press releases and other Internet discourse.
ally a cis or trans person that unquestioningly follows their
lead on marriage equality issues or agrees with their 'incremental
progress' approach for trans rights.
crumbs any gay or lesbian favorable law or policy change that
benefits either them or the trans community and isn't same gender
marriage or DOMA repeal
discrimination free zone A jurisdiction that has a GL only protective law on the books and marriage equality, but no trans rights coverage
equality the push to have gay and lesbian people acquire the
same white privilege infused 'special right' to discriminate against
other marginalized groups
hater a cis or gay lesbian or trans person that questions the 'all marriage all the time' strategy or disagrees with their 'incremental progress'
approach for trans rights.
homophobe: cis or trans person who calls out gay people for their shady and questionably ethical behavior in online discourse
homophobia Any commentary by cis or trans people that brings up their history of stabbing transpeople in the back on civil rights issues or criticizes their nekulturny or shady behavior.
incremental progress Political strategy of pushing
inadequate, flawed or unjust trans rights bills compiled by Gay, Inc
'equality' orgs that not only stretches out the time it takes to pass
such legislation, it doesn't fix the problems that plague transpeople
just like you see 'equality' definition. The dog whistle codeword for the strategy.
out of state activists people, bloggers or national organizations who oppose bad trans legislation authored by GL people
playing by the rules The demand that legislators stop what
they're doing to see Gay, Inc lobbyists, friendly legislators or allies
pushing legislation of importance to the GL community while ignoring
trans lobbyists, friendly legislators and cis, trans or GL allies opposed to that
legislation
