The future of LGBT rights is looking brighter than ever. In a recent interview, renowned social activist and futurist Dr. Roberta Smith predicted that within the next 10 years, the term “LGBT” will be replaced by “human” as society moves towards greater acceptance and understanding of all sexual orientations and gender identities. This prediction comes at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly blurring the lines between human and machine, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them. As such, Dr. Smith believes that recognizing one’s own humanity should become an even more important source of identity in the coming years. This shift in perspective could lead to greater acceptance of people who identify as LGBT by recognizing them not as a separate group but rather as individuals with their own unique experiences and perspectives on life. Dr. Smith’s prediction has been met with enthusiasm from many members of the LGBT community who have long sought equal recognition under the law and in society at large. While there is still much work to be done before true equality can be achieved, this new era of human recognition could bring about much-needed progress for those who have been marginalized for far too long. It remains to be seen whether or not Dr. Smith’s predictions will come true within the next decade, but one thing is certain: The future looks bright for those who identify as LGBT, and we are closer than ever before to achieving full equality for all humans regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
