Just like with race, just like with sex. Pushing too hard ends up with a negative result.
People didn't care if you were gay. Sure they might disagree with you, sure they might give you funny looks, but most people could still talk to you despite disagreeing and side with you.
We've actually been seeing a slow death of the notion, "I don't agree with you but I'll defend your right to say it" type stuff because of how hard they're pushing.
By design? Probably. They want us divided.
But it's sad. I think one of the straws that really broke the camel's back was the bakery politely refusing business at their own peril (because it's just good business to do business) and then being straight up cancelled and dragged through the mud.
I think that hit a lot of folks hard, because it was a direct statement that if you don't agree with them, you are a bad person who deserves to be criminalized for your beliefs..and that is not acceptable.

It’s like the classic Rush song, Subdivisions: “Be cool or be cast out”
