1) On your first point — I think you misunderstood what I meant by government enforcement. I'm talking about governments that actively force people not to be LGBTQ. The point I'm making is that this is very different from having a significant population patently against this lifestyle, which cannot be construed as government enforcement.
It's the desire towards widely accepted societal norms, and a pushback against disrupting long-established acceptable norms.
2) The same applies to Black on Black crime, except hundredfold. The same applies to violence against straight White people. Every group suffers from targeted violence — an no amount of data to prove how disproportionate it is makes any instance more right/justified than another.
Similar to your wishes, I hope there's a day when random White people on the street aren't mobbed by dozens, if not hundreds, of people who aren't White. I've lost count how many videos I've seen of this happening. I'd love to see a world where transgender teenagers and young adults aren't motivated to shoot up Christian schools. I'd love to see no discriminatory violence at all someday — but it cannot come at the cost of marginalizing majority groups who are just trying to live normal lives too, and too often, it does.
