It would hopefully promote equality and allow everyone the same opportunities.
In an ideal world, there would be no borders. This is not an ideal world.
In an ideal world, where everyone is united in ideology and discrimination, inequality, and violence do not exist, this would be a desirable state.
However, we are not in that world, and I would argue, we will never be in that world.
Borders are necessary to establish effective governments, able to control the "supply" and "demand" of their citizens and to keep undesirable groups out.
It would be nothing short of lunacy to expose vulnerable groups - such as LGBT people - to people and systems which directly discriminate against their very existence. There are fundamental incompatibilities between different countries/groups of people - such as authoritarianism vs liberalism - that make any kind of perfect mix completely impossible, unless there is a method of unifying two very incompatible ideologies and systems of governance without something horrific like mass subjugation/occupation.
Ultimately, while well-intentioned, I think the complete removal of borders would create far more problems than it would solve.
