I don't think legal rights have changed much for or against. I think that sexual diversity and gender diversity are getting more of the spotlight at present, having increased since the early gay rights movements, I think in the 1970s and 1980s. Still the media conveniently forgets that not all those affected by sexual and gender rights are gay or lesbian.
Bisexuals may "have the best of both worlds", but we're subject to biphobia from straight and gay alike or outright marginalized. I'm not transsexual, hermaphroditic, a transvestite, or androgynous, but rarely do we hear viewpoints from any of the above when people are talking about "gay rights".
I think that if gay rights have indeed lessened, it would be more thanks to George W. Bush and his religious right cronies who have more to do with it. I'm hearing more political groups rally against gay rights with the current faith-based-politics that have been going around.
