I definitely agree with that sentiment, and I do everything I can to normalize queerness in my surroundings. It's just, sometimes it's nice to have a space where you don't feel like you have to defend your right to exist, you know? And like I'm definitely at a point where I just don't care about cishet people's reactions to my existence, but not all queer people have reached that point, or even ever will.

Yea, safe spaces are important. Mixed spaces are great and valuable too, but safe spaces are invaluable parts of the journey for some of us as well.
