> They both have the ability to be controversial, but you're ignoring the context and assuming that they can both be the same level of controversial.

No, I'm not ignoring any context. I'm asserting that they can both be the same level of nonviolent. Just as I haven't made a comparison about lifestyles, I also haven't made a comparison about how controversial the beliefs about those lifestyles are. At this point the discussion is just getting pedantic.

You drew up a bad point of comparison and you keep attempting to shift away from it. To assert they can be the same level of non-violent is also incorrect considering as I brought up, there can be various levels of non-violent opinions that can be highly damaging to a community. Believing that transgender people don't exist is one, or believing that being gay is something that someone can fix.
