One of the unfortunate side-effects of having a few things on the "bucket list" ticked off is the conservative pushback gets targeted at the most vulnerable.
At present, that is frequently trans people. Often trans kids.

There are still a few residual gay rights issues, but over the past few years, LGBTQ+ rights has come to primarily refer to trans rights. One of the ACLU's major recent campaigns is that trans girls should be allowed to play on girls' sports teams, for example - that's seen as an important right nowadays, but it's not on the checklist because it was never relevant for gay people.

Of course, that's very much a nontrivial issue even among progressive circles. Your view is far from consensual.
The LGBTQ+ community are basically ordinary people from all walks of life, including prominent names like Tim Cook and Pete Buttigieg. The community has I believe explicit public support from culture generating machines like Hollywood and political entities like the Democrat party. These aren't exactly wilting lilies in terms of power and influence.
It isn't obvious that supporting their liberties should take precedence over supporting anyone else's.
