Its been a couple of years since I read the numbers on it so I could be wrong but if I recall correctly I think like 85% of the people involved with it are cishet and of those that aren't cishet its pretty much exclusively cis lesbian radfems. I think they may have 1 token gay guy and that's it.
Oh, they don't like us bisexuals either. They post biphobic tweets (deleting after backlash), they *forget* to add the B to their tweets (so often they should call themselves the LGA), & they argue trans people = homosexual conversion (pretending bisexual trans people don't exist). The LGBA is trash
Heβs also the subject of possibly the weakest brush with fame stories, in that I once shared a table with him at the First Out Cafe in 1991. Separately, but I did get to say hello before I focussed on writing a star struck postcard.
I am of that era and not gay but small town boy was so inspiring at that time. Still holds up as a great song and video. Nothing better than working class people asserting themselves as they are, not as some fiction or transgression but as a normal person, triumphing over all the slings and arrows

I can't imagine anyone from the B though, given how fond everyone in LGB Alliance is of using "bisexual" as a dismissive insult
Excellent work by whoever did that.
(and a legend, but I knew that)
