Who's beliefs win? Both groups need to simply acknowledge and respect the others and respectively agree to disagree.

Again, I'm not religious and I don't have an issue with LGBT people, but tolerance in one's beliefs goes both ways. When people try to tell me I'm wrong for not believing in god, I simply say that I respect their right to believe what they want and that they should extend me that same courtesy. You can't expect people to embrace your beliefs and at the same time call them names and insult them for their own.
What you are not understanding is that being gay or trans is not a belief nor an opinion. People who don't like that people are gay or trans don't have to embrace it at all, but they cannot restrict it. They can certainly believe what they want to believe, but the moment that turns into action that prevents someone who is gay or trans from simply living openly as gay or trans without repercussion there is a problem.
