As an American, I feel that the situation here is rather different than in most of the western world. We have a much stronger far-right element, both because it controls one of our two major political parties, and because religious extremism (notably among those who seek to convert others) is a lot more prevalent here. So while there's certainly widespread support for LGB people... there's also widespread (and often deeply-ingrained) opposition to us. I know that the mainstreaming of the former (and a media awash in rainbows every June) can make it easy to forget about the latter. But there's always something-- such as the current SCOTUS, now gearing up not only to overturn Obergefell, but to make "sodomy laws" a reality once again-- to remind us :(
