In US alone, all the current acceptance is a relatively recent phenomenon. Not that long ago ( 80s? ) it was considered a psychological disorder. I don't remember gays being as militant about it though. They did the marches and stuff, but the majority of the hard work was done via cultural insertion using movies and so on. BLM and other groups should consider taking a page, because any resistance they experience now is the part they need most.

You... probably should refresh your memory of the centrality and significance of militant activism, particularly in the context of the AIDS crisis by groups like ACT-UP, in the gay rights movement then. > but the majority of the hard work was done via cultural insertion using movies and so on. No, much hard work had to be done to acheive the level of influence in powerful institution to do “cultural insertion using movies and so on”.
