A conservative gay rights advocacy group in the United States, linked to the Republican Party, reversed a 2015 decision to abandon transgender rights. The group, which identifies as "We Are LGB," had previously supported the inclusion of transgender people but now seeks to distance itself from that position.
The change represents a setback in the fight for civil rights, with the group opting to prioritize issues it considers more relevant to the gay and lesbian community. The decision was made at a time of growing debate in the United States over transgender rights.
The group now takes a position against policies for the inclusion of transgender people in spaces such as gender-neutral bathrooms and women's sports. This position aligns them more directly with conservative factions of the Republican Party.
The reversal of the 2015 decision marks a significant change in the movement's trajectory, which historically sought to expand recognition of rights for all people outside the gender norm, not just for homosexuals.
