A few things to note:

1. The OP is simultaneously a member of multiple outgroups, so the experience with discrimination and social alienation may be significantly worse than for those who are members of one outgroup. Those who are members of one outgroup may not necessarily be accepting of those who members of an outgroup on a different dimension.
2. While LGB may be relatively well accepted these days among many younger people (including college students), acceptance of T and perhaps other categories represented by letters that may be part of LGBTQ… probably considerably lags that of LGB.

Excellent post as always. To be blunt, there is still a distressing amount of racism and racial stereotyping within the queer community. Though it may disproportionately affect queer students of color at small, rural colleges with correspondingly small LGBT communities, it is an issue everywhere.
