But this idea that the majority of LGBT people are in on some massive conspiracy just doesn’t make any sense.
It’s like saying that the KKK shows that most white people are racists, when in reality the KKK are just extremely vocal and grab all the headlines. The media always focuses on the worst of any demographic to get views, and they’re not treating the LGBT community any differently.
Think about how many LGBT people you’ve met in person, and how many you’ve heard of from the media. If your entire perception of them comes from the media, chances are that you’re only hearing about the worst.
After all, anyone who relies solely on the media would think that all US conservatives are Nazis, all military personnel are war criminals, every US school is a shooting range, and everyone who plays video games is an incel.

I don't think this is a gay or trans thing so much as it is a left-wing activist crazy person thing. There are plenty of gay people who quietly live their lives with their partners, become great employees or business owners, aunt/uncle role models, adopt and raise well-adjusted children, etc.
In fact, there are LGBT people who are harassed and ridiculed *because* they aren't radical enough or that they are actively about *not* normalizing the idea of exposing children (not teens old enough to explore on their own) to sexual content. A conservative gay man who has a husband and is a member of the Republican party is just as likely to be targeted as a straight man in the same situation - because of promoting traditional family values. And that's what it is about - keeping your private life private rather than promoting it.
No one wants their children to be forcibly exposed to a leftist activist agenda in school without having any say in the matter and they're being labeled as terrorists for it by the same people who *demanded* that children not be required to stand for the pledge of allegiance in those same schools.
It's not the gay man who is masculine and goes to work swinging a hammer or in a suit and tie or the transwoman who looks and sounds like a woman who doesn't shout "I'm trans!!!" to everyone around her that conservatives have a problem with. It's the ultra-femme gay man prancing around in clubwear barista making your coffee or the man-in-a-dress with a purple mohawk and stubble protesting in front of Chick-fil-A for being closed on Sunday.
Generally, *most* people follow the bell curve - gay or straight - with hard-core evangelical conservatives and hard-core leftists that are the problem - and they are likely in the single digit percentages of the population. So let's do validating their craziness.
