I think the reality of what has gone on has several faces which are all worth thinking about:

1. A group of people that want to be different without harming anyone and be left alone

2. A group of people demanding certain specific and new legal rights with respect to how they are different

3. A group of people advocating for new social and linguistic norms around said difference

3. A group of people socially shaming people who failed to respect said norms

4. A group of people socially shaming those who opposed new specific legal rights

5. A group of people vocally opposing said legal and social changes

6. A group of people advocating legal restrictions to prevent or punish said different life choices

7. A group of people fighting said restrictions
