Are you just misremembering the treatment of gay/trans people growing up?
In my neck of the woods, being gay was not acceptable, we would constantly use homophobic slurs, and being trans (not a cross dresser, but actually changing gender/sex) was treated fairly similarly to insanity.
Nowadays, IME most people think that being gay is acceptable and unless they live fairly rurally or something probably have gay friends, and mostly people recognise the validity of being transgender but still find it a bit of an "out there" lifestyle choice.
I don't buy the idea that the Christian community were more supportive of these things before and things have regressed. I think you just care about them more now for whatever reason.

Most people lie, because expressing their opinions on the subject is costly in our society. If you hook them up to an MRI their brain lights up like they're looking at feces or squirming maggots when presented the stimulus of two men interacting sexually with each other. Interestingly, a lack of disgust sensitivity is a powerful predictor for left wing political beliefs.
