Christians are an interesting bunch. When the world decides something is so important that it requires societal upheaval, Christians are the ones who tend to plant their feet and draw lines.
This has caused accusations to drum up left and right about Christians being the thing that holds society back from "progress," but anyone who's been around long enough to witness these social upheavals understands that "progress" seems to come with a lot of destruction, misery, forced compliance, and massive amounts of regret. In time, the line Christians draw finds more and more refugees fleeing this "progress."
Now, for the people driving this "progress," it would seem like Christians are just so obsessed with hating them that they have nothing better to do than oppose the progressive. For Christians, it's Tuesday, and the lines we draw against "progress" are many. We have to stop medical institutions from injecting harmful hormones into small children at 11 AM, have a quick bite to eat, then stop the climate druids from using fearmongering about a climate apocalypse and taking control of the government.
In fact, a fun theory I developed is that "intersectional politics" is really just an attempt by various social groups who wish to dominate you in some fashion to effectively form a unified front by which to fight Christians and their influence on culture, but I digress.
On X, a post floated across my feed that made me chuckle. It was from a man named Lance Pinkham who wrote, "Why does homosexuality seem to be the only "sin" Christians are concerned with? The Bible has plenty to say about adultery, greed, hatred, lying, stealing, hypocrisy, judgment, and how we treat others."

We're not, but when you concern yourself with the progression of a singular sin, or at least find yourself heavily in its corner for one reason or another, it feels like Christianity is targeting you and your group specifically.
That's the simple answer. I would tell him, in a face-to-face meeting, that we oppose homosexuality because it's destructive and wrong, but we fight so hard against it because you force us to. If you left everyone alone and just kept your sin between you and God, then we'd let God handle it because we don't want to concern ourselves with being the keeper of people who have no will to be kept. However, you gather together and force your way into schools, libraries, medical institutions, government, and every hobby you hear about. Of course we're going to fight back. To think it's only Christians who fight back against this is also a mistake. Plenty of people don't think what you're doing is good.
The depression/suicide statistics don't seem to agree with anything you're doing being "good" either.
But the interesting thing about these "progressives" in the LGBTQ+ activist community (and I'd say many other communities to boot) is that they likely need Christians. They can't live without us. Christians could definitely live without them. Again, many of us don't want to care about your personal decisions. We'd gladly try to talk you out of them if you'd let us, but that kind of discussion is usually not welcomed by the LGBTQ+ community.
However, without Christians, the LGBTQ+ activists are left with a dilemma. The progress of their "movement" relies almost entirely on victimization. Every one of their problems comes from some other group keeping them sequestered and afraid. It's the entire backbone of the activist movement. The entire idea of "Pride" stems from being open and confident about belonging to one of the groups despite societal rejection and "bigotry."
It's not enough to simply say "society" rejects them, because society didn't for a very long time. In fact, there was such a lack of rejection that Pride parades started becoming sex parties for exhibitionists, and right in front of children. Continuing to point the finger at the nebulousness that is "society" can only work for so long. However, if you point at Christians as the issue, that's a bit more defined, and with the help of the talking point that they stand in the way of "progress" and are actually hatefully fighting back against "love," then you've got yourself a societal villain you can really wag a finger at.
The LGBTQ+ activists need Christians. Their recruitment, their alarmism, and their self-victimization hinge on the existence of Christians who reject their lifestyle.
So I repeat myself. If your entire activist community relies on Christian pushback as a gas to keep your victimization engine running, then your entire movement effectively revolves around Christianity, and from that very narrow perspective, you may start to think Christians are obsessed with you, when in fact, it's the other way around.
