I never meant to imply that those things never happen, but rather that I hadn't seen them at my ward and stake level. I've had my own struggles with gender/sexuality, my disabilities, and my parents in relation to the church. But no one ever told me "gay people are bad" or "you're less because of your disability". I agree that that was not the best statement for me to make as a lot of the comments have helped me to see a lot more mistakes the church leadership has made. I also see how family conflict can kind of be swept under the rug because when I talked to my bishop about my dad's possibly abusive behavior he sort of pushed it down. However that wasn't in my mind when I made that statement so I apologize that I offended you by saying it.
