Gatekeeping is only considered bad in some situations. When it comes to racial issues for example the "woke" people are fine with gatekeeping. They understand easily the issue with saying "all lives matter", or the issue with a white girl going to a discussion about racism and trying to draw all attention to her and her personal problems.

But try to apply the same reasoning with sexuality, and suddenly you're gatekeeping sexuality.

That said that are many instances when gatekeeping is bad too, like others have mentioned here.
