Doesn’t Seem fair or practical. For example, if every LGBTQ+ person in America hated me, it wouldn’t make that big a dent in my life. For them, on the other hand, they’re facing threats not only to their rights but their very life and limb. The stakes are different.

You’re basically asking them to be better people than those who are oppressing them.

If racism, homophobia, misogyny, etc. disappeared tomorrow, that would be one thing. It will be difficult as long as they continue to exist under constant threat.
