Sad to hear these stories, but I did ask for it. I can't discount your experience because mine is as anecdotal as yours.
I hope these stories are rare though, and I also hope that anyone who does experience any of these kinds of discrimination will put the businesses "on blast" as the kids say by posting their experiences on social media to give them the stink that they deserve.
Thanks, I didn't realize it happened either until one day it happened to me. Then it happened again, and again. Not frequent, and not always as tangible as being denied pizza, but little things here and there in the way people look at me and treat me that only started happening after I came out. I have yet to experience any actual violence, but the general vibe is such that I don't feel comfortable being out and am considering moving to a more friendly state.
