I fail to see the point of your comment in relation to gay people at least.
Do you suggest we to go back to the days of compromising over being branded criminals and being legitimate targets for violence, discrimination, and inequality?
What compromises have the likes of the so-called "Christian" cake-makers or guesthouse operators been willing to make?
I'm rather proud that (in my country at least) young people can now grow up protected by the law rather than criminalised by it as I was.
