What is the highest priority LGBTQ issue? Are our organizations on board?

So, what is the highest priority LGBTQ issue, and how do we advocate for it moving forward? Is there such a thing as an individual issue that we can name as more or less priority as any other? The conventional wisdom is to focus attention, awareness and resources on one item and assure success there, keeping in mind the context which includes the legislative climate and the probability of action. But, what if there is no one issue that is meaningful overall, and to all? Is it possible that our collective and diverse communities have a variety of iunique and specific needs that may or may not align one with the others? Do we harm our overall efforts by trying to prioritize one issue over another?
