> Why do LGBT movements still exist in cultures that were/are very accepting of LBTQ individuals then? Do you have examples in mind? I can't think of a single culture that accepts LGBT as much as non-LGBT. Even ones that are somewhat close only became that way in the past decade or two. > Alternatively: why are they completely absent in the countries that need them the most? Because being identified as LGBT could literally endanger your life in those countries.
