Can we please put that as a first cause? Because everyone seems to be dismissing the real impact on women that has already occurred.

Gay men and women have daughters, who may grow up to be heterosexual, and who need access to birth control. We are all in this together, folks. Support the rights women, and women will continue to support the rights of LGBT Americans. We have to help each other.
