Generally okay with, but are they generally OK with legislation protecting those individuals/recognizing them as protected under the same laws that protect for factors of sex and race?
Well, we think bigots should be allowed to come out as bigoted so we can cancel them. If they generally hide and still do it sneaky-like, a law wouldn’t stop them
Yes, with the caveat that libertarianism is opposed to some of those laws for any group.
For example, libertarianism strongly condemns murder, but does not support hate crime laws whereby the murderer’s motive becomes a separate crime provided it interacts with a protected class, such as murdering someone based on sex or race.

Everyone has a right to exist. But you are on your own because I am not paying for that since I don’t personally care about it
It is why the silver bullet is, and always will be, “explain how orphanages work under libertarianism”

Or perhaps I don’t have enough imagination. Can you tell me what kinds of protection LGBT people need that other people don’t need?

Can you elaborate? I don’t get what this is implying.

Probably yes and no: yes insofar that they are for identical rights for everyone, no insofar that they are for identical rights for everyone.
Oh cool like gamble with these nazis… they might not be socially toxic… generally.
