They might well have done but I would say that they were started by a few dedicated individuals and that those individuals had to take their protests out into the wider world to make their presence felt, because they'd get sod all support from the vast majority of students. Most of the student protesters who I knew at college had traditional sexist attitudes towards "chicks". And, as you have said, gay rights have been achieved in the UK thanks to this government.
