    MICROAGGRESSIONS INTRO

    No one said being LGBT was easy. There's the hard stuff, like coming out to your family and being the whipping boys/girls of the Republicans. Then there are the aggravating aspects of minority life — grievances that usually make us button our lip instead of screaming and preparing for battle.

Check out our list of microaggressions on the next slides and tell us in the comments what we missed.
