    Multiple judges in the right-leaning Supreme Court have expressed interest in overturning the federal legalization of gay marriage, and some local governments have previously tried to defy newer rulings on it; it's a very real possibility that this overturning could happen shortly, especially given the recent political precedent set by the expected overturning of Roe vs Wade on purely partisan lines and related statements in the leaked majority opinion on what other kinds of cases are wanted to be overturned later.

    LGBTQ+ people, in general, are at higher risk of suicide due to social opposition, including in relation to hate crimes, "conversion therapy" also known as sexuality-related torture, not being able to transition when it's medically recommended, and worries about families disowning them among other things. There's also adoption-related discrimination, sports-related discrimination, and, until incredibly recently, legally allowed workplace discrimination that will still likely continue to happen albeit in a more subtle manner, among other unique obstacles that many LGBTQ+ people have to regularly worry about facing throughout their lives that the average straight and cisgender person won't.

    Where do you get this baseless idea that nothing is currently happening to the LGBTQ+ community? What is that based on?
    No, they aren't, your definition of discrimination has never been normal. Every time I have interacted with you have shown this. You thought people not being nice to you and not respecting you when had done nothing to earn it was harassment. The only laws I have seen about blocking transitioning are for children and making the requirements to transition more firm because of the many scandals of people taking HRT only to grow out of it and having to detransition once they have been chemically castrated which is a valid concern to have. As I said, these are logistical issues, not discrimination.

    Marriage is a religious act, and gay people had civil unions beforehand. To legalize gay marriage is to rip the right to worship your religion freely. This means you are striping rights from one group and giving it to another. You cannot force religious groups to accept you, especially when they find your existence wrong. There is no difference between gay marriage and a civil union other than the fact you have forced a church to do it against their belief system, which I believe is unconstitutional as the freedom of religion is a vital principle of the US.

    LGBT, there is no Q or anything plus. The T is a mental condition and isn't even sexual orientation.

    They are at higher risk of suicide because they have had a mental illness, disease, drugs etc., because of the culture the community has fostered these many years. All crimes can be considered hate crimes because crime is harmful to everyone. The fact that you are of a specific orientation doesn't add any more weight to the crime unless you actively admit crimes against LGBT people matter more, which they don't.

    Conversion therapy hasn't been mainstream since the 50-60s. To take acts that would be considered torture today and use that as an excuse to validate your ideology is an extremist position, and you should be ashamed. Also, conversion therapy didn't just happen to LGBT people. It happened to everyone different and the community is a very small percentage of the total population.

    Having males beat the crap out of females under the guise of being a woman is discrimination towards women again. This is a logistical issue, not discrimination. You cant have fully grown males compete with females. They are structurally different and confer biological advantages beyond the norm, and no HRT does not change that.

    Discrimination happens to everyone for many reasons. Sex orientation is only one and it's not the main one. There are many other factors, and you will never get rid of them.

    What you find to be discrimination is not liking that people are human. They will not accept you for being you, especially when they think it can be a detriment to them./ What you find to be discrimination is so minuscule that it is relatively meaningless and within the norm of society. Life comes with hardship your just going to have to accept that and deal with it.

    Time to become an adult and earn the respect you think you deserve.
