The reasons, groups involved or promoting LGBT hatred would all have to be removed so it wouldn't just be a chance in people's view, it'd be removing many groups and a change in people's views. I would expect such a society to be relatively free from negative stigmas however, it wouldn't be one where everyone is fine with LGBT. There could be ignorance and people blaming LGBT as a reason for why certain people did something so it would develop counter views.

Much of the media is driven on demand, that is, interest of people. If people are interested in LGBT but a greater amount is not, then the media may want to play in a way to please the larger group. However, to maintain balance, the media would show more LGBT content.

Some people currently do wear items to identify their sexuality but if they go around doing this more and more, it segregates them. However, people are often able to figure out one's sexuality without needing to view braclets or pins on them. I suppose if LGBTs were equal, then doing so could drive a wedge between the LGBT group and society as well as within the LGBT group itself.

If they keep wearing items to show their sexuality, I think others may get annoyed with seeing that all over the place, causing hostility as it may be like people acting as though they were a broken record.

Probably.

There may be more advertising for LGBT items and events, which could better the economy.

I think the crime rate would be around the same but a change would be in the perception of people who commit offenses against LGBT members as they are more accepted.

I think there may be more people saying their sexual orientation as there's no longer any negative perception of it, although it wouldn't be expected for teenagers to go through experimentation.
