I don’t know ... I just don’t think this will happen, at least not in our lifetime. Now, I may just be a hopeless “look on the bright side” optimist, or maybe clueless about the intricacies of legal procedures, especially when it comes to the SC.

However, the fact remains that most American conservatives oppose abortion, whereas most conservatives seem to be okay with gay marriage and gay people in general. I live in a conservative area and no right-wing person I know is against LGB people, and we’re talking diehard MAGA people here.

That said, trans is a totally different story! The only people I know who support hardcore trans ideology and gender ideology are very left wing people. And maybe that’s the thing: the more LGB people align themselves with transgenderism, the more support they’ll lose with conservative heterosexuals.

But for now, there are too many high-level conservatives who are LGB, or have family members who are (cf. Dick Cheney!), so I just don’t think the anti-LGB sentiment is there the way anti-abortion and anti-gender ideology views are.

As someone who is both a conservative and a bisexual, and has a lot of conservatives in my extended family, hard agree on all of this. Conservatives think homophobes are weirdos too. Like, get-a-load-of-those-retards level of weirdos.
