The movement has become more organized and more focused. Prior to that it was the recognition of civil unions and domestic partnerships. There are figureheads but it's now in the form of companies ororganizations instead of one specific individual. Yet the modus operandi hasn't changed. It is still a group of people making the decisions.

If you think about it Malcolm and Martin were brands, they were the corporations. They were advised and controlled what information people knew. Their image didn't exactly equate to who they were as people. Having an organization as the figurehead of a movement eliminates a large portion of the faliable human element. An example of that is the Susan G Komen/Planned Parenthood issue from 2012. The founder/CEO stepped down but is still in a leadership position. The company still survives as a figurehead for the fight against breast cancer.

We need a leader, but it needs to be a different kind of leader.
