*Would you say that queer people are more obligated to get politically
involved than others because they`re being discriminated against in every
day life?*

I would say that they are no more and no less obligated than others. Perhaps
there is a common obligation to protect the rights of minorities, and this
means not only to protect that rights of those minority categories to which
I belong, but to all minorities who suffer disenfranchisement.
I believe this obligation should be honored by those in the majority as
well. Let us remember that some of us are majority in some respects and
minority in others, and that an obligation to equality does not emerge from
a minority status or from a majority status, but from some abiding political
commitment to democracy.
