To say that a social movement isn't happening 'organically' is to say there is never a convenient time or method that would ever satisfy the complainant. Human institutional frameworks do not evolve like that and people should accept it.

I am not sure if these types of cultural shifts ever are organic and seamless though. Look at when slavery ended. It was an abrupt change and took 100 years for the civil rights movement to come into full force. Or woman's suffrage, kind of the same thing. The change came quickly, but there were still decades of friction and resistance that lasts even up until today among some sections of society.
Unfortunately, I think with the LGBTQ+ movement, it is going to go through the same thing as history repeats itself again. Humans are pretty predictable.
