Well, that is an interesting accusation.
I am an atheist.
My eldest child is transgender. Why am I not denying it?
I very much care about LGBT issues for obvious reasons. So much that I volunteer on support lines for LGBT persons.
I have indeed dealt with persons in distressing circumstances. Often heartbreaking. It is fortunate that 1. the training covers that. And 2. There is a fucking team of counsellors exclusively for the counsellors. And we need them, because...
3. Without fail, the most distressing cases are almost always due to religious victimisation of the caller.
Now, while I can't deal in specifics, because such is confidential for obvious reasons, why don't you try talking down a suicide of an LGBT person. Who is only suicidal because they are an offense to gawd and their holy parents are bent on applying the rule of gawd.
I am an atheist. I have no issue with anyone believing in whatever imaginary cunt gives them the jollies. I have no issue with anyone discovering that their particular orientation is whatever it is. Not even my own children. That's all nice and tolerant.
The christian fraternity will take the same position funny enough. Right up to the time they learn that it is THEIR family member. Not some stranger, their brother/sister/father/mother/child/whatever. At that point, sit back and watch the fire and brimstone fly aplenty. Outright warfare ensues, all on the basis of religion.
And you christian bastages want it.
