It's got NOTHING to do with 'WHAT ABOUT ME' it's about being equal.

More abuse as in homophobia? Well, yes. That much is obvious.

Are you saying you experience more homophobia than someone who isn't straight? I hardly think so.

Would you claim you experience more sexism than women? I doubt it.

Do you experience racism more than a non-white person? Again, I doubt it.

It is about "WHAT ABOUT ME?" as you brought depression and illness etc into the discussion. Who told you non-white, non-straight and females are the only people who can get ill?
