I personally haven't experienced those issues, but it appears you have.
I'm old enough to remember gay kids getting the snot beat out of them for the crime of being gay, but we're offered no protection for being targeted. I remember women being harassed sexually at work, without the harasser suffering consequences ( outside of husbands or boyfriends) And of course, the run of the mill, racist crap.
I suppose issues such as those, are why things changed and protections were put in place.
However, like all things Government, there's never a happy medium. The pendulum swings too far to the left, or right.
You're the first person on this platform from politics that I've had a civil conversations with. It's a f**king shame we are, where we are, politically today.
