True, I have no evidence. Or if I do, it's only anecdotal.

I know a lot of my friends, apolitical or even left-wing people, have shifted from being full on pro-gay liberation back to a sort of moderate liberal from the 90s position, like "I'm glad they have equal rights but it's kind of creepy that my facebook feed is full of transgender children, do they have to push this stuff so actively?"  Of course, this is the minority position I've encountered but it's a significant and growing one. I suspect even more people would back it in an anonymous survey. No proof, just a guess.

The kinds of people who shift away from gay rights that easily were never allies in the first place. Do you have a problem with me being allowed to exist? Because that's what your complaining about.

No one believes that trans people don't exist.

This might have something to do with the attacks on religious freedoms of businesses.

I Guess muslims should be able to refuse service to non-muslims huh,

No one is refusing service to gays.  Some people think that certain relationships are immoral and they don't want to bake a cake for a ceremony that celebrates such relationships.  They would be fine with baking a birthday cake for a person who is in a gay relationship.

isnt it kinda weird that cake bakers are getting into the business of judging the morality of their customers' life choices? why would a baker, religious or not, care who the cake was for? just take their money for christ's sake lol

They don't actually care who the cake is for, they only care about the event the cake is for.
