Given that they are highly trained in manipulating people to divulge information or otherwise provide fodder for bad optics

maddow, lemon, people like that on the left would be the ones doing that to us as they (cnn, msnbc) are very pro T narrative.

The right does it too. I think that even in the absolute best scenario, Fox would only use us as tokens to push their agenda, and would barely give any airtime to real LGB issues. At best. More likely scenario: "See, look at all the damage the gays caused! The slippery slope we predicted was right! It's gay people's fault there are all these detransitioning children! Degeneracy! What is this country coming to!" Etc.

They still have a core supporter base that is very homophobic, even if many more people on the right today support gay marriage than in the past.

The problem is that though the right may be anti-T, it is not necessarily pro-LGB. Some right-wingers would love LGB to be tarnished with the sins of T (not all, especially those of us who identify as center-right).
