Indeed.
Unfortunately we have the same thing here in Israel with MOR "Traditional" people and "Modern Orthodox" Jews (a-la Naftali Bennet). They swallowed the 1st stage pity-pleading when the LGBT lobby presented us with aunties in sweaters and pearls who "just want to be married".

Once you let the camel's nose in the tent...

Now the mask has dropped, and the Lefties here have started twisting arms to coerce compliance with the new "orthodoxy" in the army, the workplace, the schools.

Despite the show of numbers in the last election, many of these otherwise conservative people don't have the guts to admit they were wrong. They would rather continue to sneer at the more traditional "ultra" Orthodox, and mouth approved opinion. There is even an organization of "Gay Orthodox Jews" funded by foreign progressives.

Right now the "Modern Orthodox" community is focused on a test case in which an activist mother sent her daughter to a religious school dressed as a boy..... most revealing to see the twisting and posturing by people who claim they keep the Torah and its commandments.

FROM THE START this was constructed as a rhetorical trap to catch and neutralize well-meaning people.

There is no way to exit the trap while remaining "nice".
No room for "live and let live" - that was just a slogan to get initial acquiescence.

There is no mutual respect - the calls for diversity are all "my way or the highway".

The only way out is through - to continue to speak the truth, and no longer care about the attempts to defame and disqualify.

Thank G-d we have the force of numbers here in Israel, which is still very traditional minded. But the inroads the LGBT movement has made - the number of people who have been successfully confused, silenced, and neutralized by their lies - it's just astounding.
