For instance, when my son came out, some parents removed his friends and forbade any further contact for fear of catching "da ghey".
Discrimination in employment is a lawsuit most places.
Laughter/mockery/sarcasm from women. That one is odd. I will not put all women in that bucket, but it is weird. Maybe they are somehow threatened by transgenderism in some way? I have no idea.
As to your last, do you mean people who wont shut up? I have had some loons wanting to know how I was proposing to "fix" my child
I have some random strangers in my neighborhood who regularly talk to me. It's ironic, because, this woman has been talking to me when she sees me walking on the street for months now; I don't even know her name. Not sure if it is some sort of "friendship evangelization" or something like that. She's polite, and, I am, too!
