The kind of discrimination gay, bi, and trans people face depends very heavily on where one lives, which makes this a hard question to answer. As a lesbian living in a city that is very LGBT friendly, I've actually seen my ace friend deal with a lot more discrimination than I've personally experiences. But that definitely is not going to be the case everywhere.

There's also the issue of what kind of discrimination we're talking about. I think ace people may be more likely to be viewed as less than human, or to have their identity denied outright. A study one of the other anons in this thread links to even suggests people are on average more put off by and avoidant of ace people than l/g/b people. But from what I've seen, no one's telling them they're going to hell or trying to shock them straight, and it's presumably very rare for an ace person to be beaten up (or killed) specifically for being ace. So the most violent and overtly hateful discrimination is undoubtedly perpetrated upon LGBT people, and obviously that counts for a lot if we're going to weigh the two sides.

People try to rape ace people straight, though, when assholes ignore their "nos" and push "how do you know you don't like it until you've tried?" to a disgusting extreme.

People try to rape anyone who isn't interested in them into liking it. Straight, gay, or otherwise.

There is no systematic rape of people identifying as asexuals, because there is no systematic oppression of asexuals, certainly not one rooted in any socio-religious history. Especially since being asexual isn't an act in the way that gay sex is.

That's because most people have no idea asexuals exist, and when told they do, a large percentage of them refuse to believe it.

Yep. I also live in a city that's very LGBT friendly, and also super liberal. My gay friends have even said themselves that I get more crap for my sexuality than they do. From what I've seen, trans and gender non-conforming people get the most discrimination of out of anyone, then bisexual and asexual people, then cis gay men/lesbians...IF you live in a liberal, LGBT friendly place. I've seen so many people refuse to believe that asexuals could possibly ever face more discrimination than gay people, but it really depends on where you live.
