There are many separate groups partially made up of gays/lesbians/etc. which may have a clear goal like Democrats and keeping President Obama in office, or Republicans with getting Mitt Romney in office. After November 2012 though the goal changes for these two groups-- Democrats and Republicans.
Will bet that the gays/lesbians at a Catholic University like Georgetown U. have different interests and goals than those at say UCLA or UC, Berkeley.
My point is that very few gays/lesbians/bis would probably be involved with politics and social marches and the like. The same with straights.

I would say you are really naive to the agenda of the gay community today. In my own circle of family and friends, the activism, especially with the availability of social networking sites, of my gay relatives and friends have increased dramatically. The ability to stay current with coming protests and marches, along with disseminating pertinent information within their community has never been greater.
There are no real organizations of straight people dedicated to a straight agenda that average people belong to. That is not true of the gay community. They are almost all active now and paying attention.
