Identify the core focus of LGBTQ+ advocacy in the early 21st century

The question asks for the areas of focus for ending discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in the early 21st century. Advocacy during this period heavily targeted systemic inequalities in daily life, specifically focusing on securing protections in employment, education, and marriage.
