During the 1970s and 1980s, as certain gay and lesbian organizations sought mainstream political acceptance, some factions attempted to distance themselves from transgender individuals.

Conversely, trans activists argued that separating gender nonconformity from sexual orientation was counterproductive, as homophobia is often rooted in rigid gender expectations.

Consider the evolution of the Pride flag. The classic six-color rainbow is now often augmented with the "Progress Pride" flag, which includes a chevron of black, brown, light blue, pink, and white—colors specifically representing trans individuals and people of color. This is a physical acknowledgment that without trans visibility, the rainbow is incomplete.
