LGBT

I'm not sure what the purpose of this OP is, here in the LGBTQ+ group.

I'm a lesbian and a parent and a.step-parent. Is there some national conversation or controversy I've missed?

Because, unless there's some front page story about some incident that makes this highly topical, it sounds a lot like the old trope that assumes there's some "gay spokesperson" or "gay community" that took a vote and issued some rule that somehow represents the opinions of all gay people everywhere. And now you're taking us to task. If you're in disagreement with the wording of some organization's position, take it up with them.

And, for the record, lots of organizations continually reexamine and update their positions. It was not that long ago that the Southern Poverty Law Center, for instance, didn't take hatred of gay people into account when identifying hate organizations. Now they do. Do I hold their past omission against them? No. I celebrate their evolution, as I celebrated President Obama's.
