Honestly a lot of it right now is the American election cycle, coupled with external cultural manipulation by bad actors abroad influencing social media, and making LGBT issues an affront to traditional cultural values ( like Russian networks framing Russia as a bastion of traditional social familial roles ). A lot of the culture war is amplifying existing tension on LGBT and 'woke' and turning it up to 11.
Have you seen the Russian psy ops instructions?
Got a manual?
Aside from what everyone else has said, one of the big leaders to this scenario is that the world has gotten so much safer and so much less violent and so much more accepting that people have to literally scrape the barrels to find something to be outraged about.
We all of us know that the Republican playbook of taking rights away from people is a thing that is intended to target people and punish them for not adhering to the moral code of the people doing the targeting.
But the fact that we can spend so much of our national resources on arguing over morality is a side effect of the world being so good that we don't have to argue over worse things.
I'm not attempting to apologize or forgive anybody for their stance, but it is true that we are arguing over whether or not it's okay to have an abortion or whether or not it's okay to be gay rather than whether it's not okay to let have the country starve to death or whether or not it's okay to kill everyone all the time always.
I've said this before and I will inevitably say it again, human history is a pus filled boil on our consciences.
The only way to fix it is to lance it and to deal with all of the pus. We are in the pus clean up stage of human history, and in time with enough constant patient care, it will get better.
That 40 year step backwards comes from good intentioned politicians making deals with homophobic devils so to speak in order to save other people.
Family sizes are down, birth rates are now 1 per family, maybe 2 children.
This is due to many reasons but mostly
Basically, there are better things for women to do then just have kids. This has a been a huge force multiplier for the economy
However, this means that family lines, genetic lineage, family names, dynasties... All rests on the shoulders of a single child. That's a lot of pressure.
When you had 10 children, and one or two were "special", it may have caused some drama but the lineage was still being secured by the other 8.
When there is only one child who then chooses a alternative life style that does not reproduce that means the END of a genetic line, the end of a name, the end of a dynasty, the end of a family. These things are hugely important to people.
I think people are more angry about sexual choices now, because they're more important, because people have less children.
Why does it seem you have all of a sudden started to look at information about sexual orientation? Did you miss that in the current information overload, everyone gets exposed to different information and no one can tell you why you are getting exposed to whatever you are getting exposed to?
Cultural progressivism has been used as a shield to implement bad economic policies.
Edit for those who do not understand:
CIA and maybe collaboration with Mossad. Pink and rainbow washing is used to justify regime change operations abroad.
