Gay marriage was also prevented in America for hundreds of years 100% due to activists. There is no money for or against gay marriage, it was always only activists on both sides so it isn't a good example of a class war.

I'm not so sure, gay rights intersects with the class war in at least a couple of ways:

- Dividing the working class on the issue of gay rights is an effective way for the elites to get the working class to ignore the class war.

- Control of reproduction offers some control over labor.

Can you elaborate on the second point? I don’t understand how banning gay marriage controls reproduction.
