It sure seems like acceptance is at an all time high and violence is at an all time low.
I am not sure how you think things were for LGBT for the past 5 decades, or how it is in other countries, but the movement and acceptance has come extremely far worldwide
Do you really believe LGBT are NOW being framed as - and I quote "violent radicals, groomers, and pedophiles" - Guess what - They were in the past and at extremely higher level across the country and the world. Less people then ever would frame the community this way - And less people will every year that passes.
I dont think people are sticking their heads in the sand either - But in a country of 40 million people, there is only so much outrage someone can have before they get tired (Unless you sit on social media all day looking for things to be outraged over).
Things are getting better for these groups by the day. It doesn't mean that terrible things worldwide don't still happen, but for almost everyone in the LGBT community life is exponentially better today then anytime in the past.

I really don't think you can or should speak for them like that. How would you know? And better does not in any way mean good or acceptable.
