so-treu:

“The ultimate irony of gay liberation is that it has made it possible for straight people to create more fluid gender, sexual, and social identities, while mainstream gay people salivate over state-sanctionared Tiffany wedding bands and paticipatory patriarchy. If gay assimilationists wanted actual progress, they’d start by fighting for the abolition of marriage (duh), and universal access to the services that marriage can sometimes help procure: housing, healthcare, citizenship, tax breaks, and inheritance rights.”
