Are , gay, biual and transual people excessively politically correct to the point of concern?

I just asked a question no less than an hour ago. A genuine question. Even though it straddled along some delicate matters, it was far from hate speech and I'm pretty sure I gave hints that I was asking from a standpoint. Regardless, it was reported by a seemingly sensitive crowd, and I didn't even get to read the responses. Is this what the gay subculture has plummeted to in the modern era? Are we no longer free to speak our minds? Are we to reduce our words and ideas in hopes of not offending? Does the gay subculture now represent a pedantic agenda instead of a liberating one?
