Now the pendulum swings back to the middle and some other marginalised minority agitates for rights, with the inevitable backlash.

The nuclear family is still the state sanctioned unit though isn't it? Non-procreating sexualities are gradually being incorporated into the state apparatus as they gain rights.
Both of those things came from somewhere though, most likely biology.

Viruses and cockroaches, they'll be here long after we're extinct so they win evolution. Are they sword swingers or pen pushers
