Respectfully, this is a bad take. 

It's never been "the homosexual community", it's always been "the queer community". Included within that is the POC who have fought and suffered along with us for decades longer than either of us have been alive.

It'll always be "LGBTQ+" and implying that it should be anything different is just doing light work for the MAGAs and other freaks that want to divide and conquer until we're all scared to hold the hand of someone with the same sex organs we have.

I didn't mean it in terms of separating how the community is titled, and recognize it as the queer community. When I used the term blending the two, I was speaking to the confusion people around me have sometimes displayed in differentiating sexual orientation and identity, not to be offensive or dismiss members of the community. Perhaps it is the location I live in and people I have recently had to be around, but I have seen a lot of generalizations that I find damaging to the way each group of the community holds their own and discredits their own unique experiences. I was also not in the most sober state of mind writing that comment and could have worded it much better.

I did not set out to offend anyone but try and make the point that people need to be kinder and try better to appreciate what makes each of us different/unique as people.

I've personally never met a transphobic gay person and I've interacted with quite a few at clubs, bars, and around town now that I'm more active in those spaces.

It's always either total support or complete apathy, never malice  

Yeah, that’s basically been my experience as well.
