> This one seems weird to me as someone who is part of that community; the two issues seem orthogonal unless we're talking specifically about things like discrimination against LGBT employees
That's what we're talking about. I mentioned employment and housing protections. It is a fine and wonderful thing that bigots can no longer prevent you from getting married, but they can take away your job and your home at will, in large parts of the USA. That seems like a backwards way to go about it.
> I guess the best explanation is that some people base too much of their identity on their sexuality
That's kind of a nasty thing to say about people who are legitimately worried about their survival.
