@SaimaMehboob that's a very good question. I don't think there's only one answer, there's a variety of factors: fear and hate for people who are perceived as "different", political / religious bigotry, heteronormativity that values the ability to reproduce above anything else, stereotyped gender roles that socially punish anyone who doesn't conform to them, close-minded mentality and marginalization of queer identities, lack of empathy... The list goes on.
So many "reasons" to hate, when the only thing that matters is the single reason to be supportive: we are all human. Sexuality and gender don't define how good or bad of a person you are. Empathy, altruism, care... These are the things that should define us.
When there's so much hate around, the best thing we can do is rely on the LGBT community for support, as well as trusted allies and people who value who we are.
There's a lot of work to do to educate people and build a more empathetic society, we should never stop raising awareness as well as supporting each other through hard times. We're not alone, even if sometimes it may feel like we are. Stay strong, there's a place for us in the world!
