I think your confusion lies from my use of the word "appears". As I said it "appears" there is a schism in the LGBT community that is getting worse. For comparison, let's say a person is stopped by the police for suspicion of DUI. The officer will say that it "appears" the person is under the influence. This, of course, is not a statement of fact, that the person in question is factually under the influence. The statement is that, from the officer's perspective the person shows the signs of being under the influence. So, when I say it "appears" that there is a schism in the LGBT community over this issue that is an inherent statement that, from my perspective, and my perspective only, this is the case. As you say, it appears to you to be different. Also, as you correctly stated, this is not a homogenous community, as is the case for any other group, for which any statement will be 100% true.
I sincerely hope this clears everything up.
No worries. Fwiw there are schisms in every facet of society, so that a small group has one isn't a surprise - even in small groups. Especially in small groups.
I know just a few years back a lot of pure homosexuals weren't very welcoming of bisexuality. I think it just bothers me that even 'out' groups have their own out groups.
All that said, I personally don't see the schism between LGB and T getting worse. Most of what I see is them coming together laughing at Billy Bob wasting his money on Bud Light so show his disapproval of Bud Light.
