Personally I don't like "queer" because it inherently means "weird". Hearing gay people calling themselves weird rattles me a bit. To me, LGBT and then maybe "A" for asexual, "I" for intersex and "N" for Non-Binary is enough. Any other term is attention seeking and just confusing to people. Pansexual? Get out of here, "bi" describes you fine and you're just being a special snowflake.
As an individual, I'm not here for Caitlyn Jenner, I don't see it for her at all. I felt that way before hearing her stance on gay marriage and it has nothing to do with her being trans, I just don't like her, or any of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty for that matter.
I do agree, and as a gay person myself, that the gay rights movement as a whole has very much thrown trans people under the bus. I can understand the resentment a lot of trans people feel towards it for that reason, there's still a lot of work to be done.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
