If you're not American I understand why you don't get it. In the US grade school teachers usually share the status of their relationship lives with students. Single dating engaged married with children etc If they don't it's suspicious. Kids aren't dumb. They figure out if a teacher is gay even if closeted.

For those that don't know Uncle Joe Biden is an important figure in the history of LGBT rights in the U.S. https://www.politico.com/story/2012/05/obama-expected-to-speak-on-gay-marriage-076103 https://www.advocate.com/politics/marriage-equality/2014/04/16/new-book-biden-pushed-obama-marriage-equality

Well in fairness it wasn't that clean an ending. The south just compensated their defeat with Jim Crow laws and still glorifying the Rebel cause. Black people might have been paid after the war, but peanuts, and their civil rights including voting rights were severely repressed. Yes many moved north but discovered there's plenty of racism up there too! Also it's still being debated if Sherman's brutal murderous march from Atlanta to the sea after the Union won was justified in any way.

Born male, now she's a transgender woman. FACT. Unless you're saying and it sounds like you are that transgender men and women don't exist. That's ridiculous. Of course they exist. Just because you might be opposed to their existence, does not negate their existence. Reminds me a school mate I had. Boy was she funny. She insisted that there were no people in the world who didn't speak English. Nothing you could say to her changed her mind. I'm sure she eventually learned. But those that insist transgender people don't exist, I'm not so optimistic.

No. You can say whatever you want. But you will not always be free of consequences for your speech. Just like everyone else. Like if someone says ignorant bigoted stuff, others have the right to call that out, and if the speech was ignorant and bigoted enough, there may be real life consequences depending on their role in life.

It's like basically common sense. It's a pride flag representing LGBTQ people. If you burn it you are expressing hatred towards LGBTQ people. Exceptions might include things like you own such a flag and wish to discard it and you burn it as garbage. Do you really not get that, or as I suspect, are you just playing games? Stolen, burned pride flags at Nebraska home spark hate crime investigation | Fox News Gay Pride flag attacks mount amid online challenges by extremist groups (msn.com) I'm assuming that you have never been the victim of a hate crime because of your sexual orientation. I have but even without that personal experience I would take hate crimes against minorities seriously.
