...if you went to their website, they were explicitly anti pride, they insisted no women were born gay, but chose to be so, that there was no commonality between gay men and lesbians, and rejected being categorised together.

It's the core of the gender critical issue really, they're radfems who often don't just see men as broadly the same thing as women, in a patriarchal structre, but as almost another species, tainted by masculinity and fundamentally unreconcilable with women.

Therefore, gay man and lesbians have no commonality, because it's like expecting a hungry lion and a hungry gazelle to share the same goals because they're both hungry.

This goes wider than gay or trans issues, it might sound like nonsense, but on the further fringes it reaches a spiritual belief that men are fundamentally a parasitic organism that has corrupted woman, not really human at all.

(Obvs, it's a particularly mad fringe, but it's fostered of the same core idea. That patriarchy isn't a sociological problem, but an intrinsic one. Predator vs prey.)

Yes The Redstockings liked the Marxist analogy with labor To them homosexuality meant "dropping out of the market" (of reproductive labor) and obviously what that means depends on whether you're a boss or a worker

A lesbian is someone quitting their job at the factory, a gay man is the factory owner shutting the factory down to retire to the Bahamas In this worldview, one is a result of oppression and one is an oppressor pretending to give up oppression while actually increasing it

... How actually increasing it? Also why aren't all women lesbians then

Because the factory owner in this scenario is happily enjoying the profits of being a member of the capitalist class without honoring the deal to at least give workers a job and a paycheck in return He's "cheating" and "skimming" off the system

It's a specifically gendered version of the shit people say today - many of whom are conservatives and TERFs, but many of whom are just regular centrist liberals - about "childless privilege" Parents are making sure the human race keeps existing and you're freeloading off them
