We're talking about far more than a few kooks on the fringe of society, though. The beliefs I described are mainstream in some places, and anti-gay bigotry is codified into law in some countries.

So is punishing apostasy with death--usually the same countries.

I'm gay. You should believe me when I tell you that plenty of people still believe it is wrong and it does impact me in very big ways. Times that by 10 for transpeople. Do not attempt to speak for these groups when you have no idea of what their experiences are.

You're assuming that I'm straight. Interesting. Also false.

Sorry, my mistake. However, you are repeating the claims of crypto-homophobes that deny that anti-LGBT discrimination is still a very big problem. It is still a horrible scourge, and minimizing it is morally wrong. You may not experience too many issues due to what I imagine is a higher-middle class tech industry social status, probably in a coastal city, but others aren't so lucky. I stand by my criticism.

Then discuss how and why it's a big problem instead of making existence claims. That's my only point.

Are you seriously asking me for evidence of my claim that homophobia is a big problem? Do you need similar evidence of racism being a big problem?

No, because you've demonstrated neither the capacity nor the inclination for good-faith discussion. I'm simply clarifying my original point, since I seem to have expressed it poorly in the first place.
