Over the course of the past two years, my next-door neighbors In Boise Idaho have displayed a Trans pride flag in support of their transgender daughter. The political and cultural environment here is problematic for many marginalized groups and individuals, even though Boise is considered "liberal" by Idaho standards. As you noted, the numbers of affected individuals are not as great, although that might be a secondary consideration. There are still a great many folks that do not take kindly to singling out for persecution individuals on the basis of who they are. The two black Tennessee legislators who were summarily removed from office are but one example, and the backlash against the perpetrators for their actions will not be forgotten soon.
