That's funny, I thought the genderqueer/transgender/intersexed communities were the "gays" of 2010.
It's been 40 years since the gay civil rights movement started. Let's hope it doesnt take that long for either poly people or transgendered people to achieve similar rights and acceptance.
Luckily, here in Canada, and specifically the Candian military, attitudes are vastly changed. We recognize same sex marraiges and have paid for gender reassignments. And yet I am not sure how they would handle my relationship. A few years ago the military apparently investigated a swinger group at a military housing community and "shut it down" so to speak (but that could be a rumor)

I find that humorously ironic. Considering how swinging found some of its roots.
old marriage laws as unconstitutional based on that prejudice against orientation.
It's been 40 years and counting. Gays STILL don't have the right to marry.
Even getting a legal "Life partner" status to be able to share things like health insurance etc can be quite an ordeal. In many states the life partner status has to be brought before a judge who has months to review the request and decide whether or not it will be granted. Gays may have some basic rights, but they are certainly limited.
