A nation will always have issues with homophobia, because even if it’s not an enshrined position, it’s something that its constituent citizens can sometimes believe in.

I live in Portland, Oregon, and I deal with transphobia all the damn time. And yet I’m explicitly protected by the law, which doesn’t mean all that much at the end of the day.

Hence, trans pride.

    But there is no un-hated group. Heck, there's still a not insignificant portion of the population who hate the Irish/Catholics still. There is no group that isn't hated by someone.

    Hell, there are a not insignificant number of people who hate white people. Does that make it okay for them to be "proud of being white" just because some people hate them for it?

    I don't disagree that there will always be people who hate gay people. But I do think there are plenty of countries though where the percentage of the population that do is low. At least as low as those who hate whites/Catholics/etc.
