I think a lot of the frustration comes from people being asked to make an effort for something they know won't reduce the stigmatization.

Not if only they do it, no, but concerted and widespread effort has destigmatized things. For example, how much did TV shows and films depicting interracial relationships (I'm thinking e.g. Star Trek) do to normalize interracial relationships? Gender, sexual identity, racial issues, etc are all actively considered and discussed nowadays in most layers of society; if it was still stigmatized, there wouldn't be a discussion about it.
