As communists we should fight each and every form of oppression. If you ignore oppression against LGBTs, you are not a materialist, because oppression against LGBTs is a concrete phenomenon.
They are not an exploited class. Exploitation has a very distinct marxist definition. They face some discrimination in society which is different and the same can be said of people with regional accents.
They also hold overwhelming power in Western society and over the world in general to advance homonationalism. (ie. now the West has a mass culture bass to support material conditions for an LGBT culture it now folds the LGBT into the nation to advance the Wests foreign policy agenda against countries without that mass consumer culture who will never accept LGBT… Because they will never be wealthy enough to support the Mass consumer culture required for LGBT)
Do you picture them as a strong white cisgender male who works in industry? Because LGBTs are mostly proletarians as well.
Most working class LGBT people have more pressing concerns than the homonationalism advanced by neoliberalism and it’s army of NGOs which presents almost exclusively the neoliberal LGBT ideology that represents the downwardly mobile Professional Managerial Class.
