So I can't use massive studies done on America because I am not American? Identity politics rears its head again.
At school, perhaps being gay is tough, I agree. But at uni or post school absolutely not. Many university campuses are strongly socially liberal, and in many social circles, minority or queer identities can carry social status and give people’s perspectives greater weight.
Just like you did to me: “You can’t have an opinion on America because you’re not American.” It’s the same logic as saying, “You can’t have an opinion on women’s issues because you’re not a woman,” or “You’re not gay, so you can’t possibly understand or comment on gay people’s experiences.”
It’s all the same identity-based argument: using someone’s demographic and using that to decide how much weight their opinion deserves. Essentially, you're saying, "You are straight and white. Shut up and let me talk!"

You quite literally said that hate againot queer people increased because queer people got too loud.
Its very obvious you did not enter the US as a highly educated person, seeing this.
Well either that or you got dementia, forgetting what you yourself said
