We got one of our ponies, but there are a still a few ponies I would like to see resolve

- ENDA inclusive of gender identity
- LGBT homelessness, especially youth homelessness
- The incredible hate crimes against trans women (especially those of color)
- More HIV/AIDS research and support for those with HIV
-Poverty overall, as it especially impacts lesbians

I'm sure there are more ponies, but these are the ones I could think of.

Here is an article with some of the points i have highlighted, but I am sure there are more

and tonnes of money needed for this work. gay marriage happened because a lot of people spent a lot of money, we need to ensure that the other LGBT causes continue to be funded.

toward acceptance in all parts of society. Just because we can now fight from a position of greater strength, doesn't mean we have no fight left.

We are also still not given equal protection, as compared to gender and race. That hightened scrutiny was not bestowed on us by the Supremes.
