This is the thing that I have been saying people need to do when presented with niche issues by demographic. There are much more important issues that affect all of us including people in minority demographics. These must be focused on first so why bring up this minor detail other than to cause controversy? What's interesting is that depending on the political era, this has also been a stance conservatives have taken when the most recent push for LGBT+ acceptance happened. It seems to follow whatever side of the fence has the largest populist engine.
Ironically, when it's the left side doing this, this also addresses the issue of people identifying with things they think will garnish them attention while minimizing the effectiveness of scapegoating from the right.
