No, though I do feel that the media has a tendency to portray the LGBT community in a very one dimensional way, enforcing certain stereotypes which might not be beneficial towards the ultimate goal of a society accepting the LGBT community.
Are you sick and tired of those goddamned liberals and those goddamned illegal aliens taking our goddamned jobs?
Yes.
I'm no homophobe, but the shameless promoting has to stop.
Sick and tired of reading random shipping of characters in games/TV/comics.
We're in 2014. Nobody gives a damn about your gender preference.
Racism is a more pressing issue, considering the inequality still experienced by expats in most European/Arabian countries and the relevant Ferguson riots.

No.
If you were forced to live a life as a different race, would you prefer to be a Negro, Malay, Asian (slanted-eyes/yellowish skin), Indigenous (Native American/Australian), Caucasian, Latin, or Arabian?

Your list of choices is odd, very odd. But off that list, I'd probably pick Native American.

Trans people are most definitely not even close to being accepted. They are an extremely persecuted group, possibly the most persectured group on a single intersection (though why make it a competition)
Gay people as well face a lot of hardship and persecution, and while things have gotten better, they are by no means good.
Racism is also a huge problem, but we don't have to give up working on one issue at expense of another.
At any rate, these issues are intertwined, there are black transgender women, there are hispanic lesbians, etc.

That shit's still happening there. They hate homos/bis.
I wasn't denying that homosexuals are persecuted in Islamic countries. I was commenting how you need to get out more if you think that homosexual persecution only happens in Islamic and Communist countries.
Anyhow, off topic so moving on.
Maybe it's a culture thing?
Where I'm from, 1 of 5 individuals are probably homo/bi (or at least, closet homo/bi).
And homos/bis are embraced by society.
I guess the view on sexuality depends on the worldview of the demographics of that location.
EDIT:
To answer the question above: I find it rather annoying to say the least.
Are you sick and tired of the media pulling the race card in discussions?
