I'm transgender and I've never felt like there have been any issues from the community.
OOC, I feel fine among RP communities are they are usually pretty inclusive. Non-RP game communities aren't a different story, but that's not so relevant while talking on a RP forum.
The environment is not so threatening anymore, but I think it's nice to be able to find other characters in the same boat. I've seldomly found the opportunity to roleplay any same-sex romances, mainly due to not finding other characters. When I have, it was usually a "you're the only other gay I've ever met" situation. It's a little encouraging to know who's out there.
For me, it's less about wanting to be somewhere protected, and more about being somewhere that encourages connections.
