Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
LGBT community, left wing, right wing it's all about control.
That is a very right wing way of looking at it. A left wing perspective is that we should try to make life better for everyone (which includes the person themselves, but also their political opponents).

But in particular for an oppressed group like LGBT people, they don't have time to think about oppressing others; they spend all their energy on survival in a society that is quite hostile to them.

The idea that "if the LGBT community would get power, they would oppress us" is nonsense. It's also right wing projection: it's what they would do if the roles were reversed. Which they are, and so they are in fact doing it. But not everyone is as horrible as they are, and I would not expect the LGBT community to abuse power in any way that is even close to what right wingers are doing.

But imagine how bad it would be if the most greedy and least empathetic people were in power! Wouldn't that result in a horrible society? Oh wait, that's exactly what we have. How about we do something about that instead of fighting over which of the "peasants" would be better?
