LGBT is a label which covers a broad spectrum, from self-identity, through orientation, and into gender expression including Crossdressing and Transgenderism.

To label a character with non-binary traits with only binary labels is insulting. And yeah, sometimes how a person is treated, even persecuted, can play into their reasons for being villains and their villainy. Most of Heinz Doofenshmirtz's schemes were motivated by accompanying backstories. None were LGBT in nature (though he was forced to wear hand-me-down girls' clothing), but it still illustrates the point of past shaping the villain.

Animé is especially rife with such themes. I'm trying to think of one now but I'm drawing a blank other than the boy in Family of Debauchery who was forced to be as he was by his sister because she wanted a sister.
