It's "affected". "Effected" means "caused to happen" or "put into practice".

I'm pretty good with the obscure English rules, but this one trips me up almost every time

Mainly because the two things you just mentioned are almost identical imo

Still makes sense in this sentence to be fair, but our Madam probably meant affected.

I.e. anti LGBT protests had an effect on those people and they are being shouted out.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn't look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn't feel like we're going to win now but we could. Keep fighting, keep dancing."

Happy pride! Keep dancing 💕

Dan Savage is one of my favorite activists for the LGBT+ community. He writes a sex advice column in Seattle and I can’t recommend his writing enough!

I once saw someone post online "No one ever advanced the cause while in the closet" and I had a real hard time not making a whole thing about it

*affected. Affect is the verb, effect is the noun. Pedantry aside, lovely sentiment.
