LGBT conservatism refers to LGBT individuals with conservative political views. It is an umbrella term used for what is bifurcated into two specific sub-categories,each with its own term and meaning. The first sub-categorical term,Pre-Stonewall LGBT Conservatism,refers to LGBT individuals embracing and promoting the ideology of a traditional conservatism in either a general or specifically-LGBT social context or environment. The second sub-categorical term,Post-Stonewall LGBT Conservatism,refers to self-affirming LGBT persons with fiscally,culturally,and politically conservative views. These post-Stonewall conservatives' social views,though generally conservative too,at the same time reflect a self-determination-stemmed and more recent socio-historical "gay-affirmation" on issues like marriage equality for same-sex couples,gay family recognition,civic equality generally for LGBT people in society,and also a positive role for (gay-affirming) religion in LGBT life,though there is not complete unanimity of opinion among them on all issues,especially those regarding the dynamics and politics of the closet and "identity management," and various legal and political issues The first term can include LGBT people who are actually opposed to same-sex marriage or other LGBTQ rights while the second term,contrastingly,usually refers to self-affirming gay people who unequivocally favor marriage as a legal institution for both heterosexuals and gays and who simultaneously prefer economic and political conservatism more generally. The number of self-affirming LGBT advocates for conservative ideas and policies became more apparent only after the advent of the modern LGBT civil rights movement in the 1970s even as many gay conservatives,labelled as "self-hating" at the time,did remain closeted in areas where anti-gay socially conservative politicians then led the most organized opposition to LGBT rights. The Realpolitik and ideology situations for LGBT conservatives today vary by their own self-definition,and each country's sociopolitical,cultural,and legal LGBT rights landscape.
