I'm in good spirits because I think there are a number of people who are in circumstances similar to the ones you experienced in your life and who just need some love and understanding from the majority of humanity. They need to be allowed to have their own experiences without opposing politicos trying to push them around.
I can't do anything about the subset of LGBT politicos who openly treat this as a "rainbow jihad" as you put it. What I can do is show love and understanding to all and encourage others to do so. I can quietly, calmly, and lovingly encourage people to just be whomever they want to be and not allow their sexual identity to get them caught up in a political movement.
The political movement's goals have nothing to do with anyone's individual freedom and everything to do with manipulating and abusing people for political gain. You don't fight those assholes by engaging them on their terms, you fight them by blowing up the premise of their argument.
That's why I like Justice Gorsuch's legal opinion. He firmly grounded the debate back to one of individual rights and freedoms. I am following his lead and leaving behind the childish political gang warfare of the past half century.
Short term... you're probably right, it will embolden some politicos. Long term I think we'll all be better off. Gorsuch delivered a centrist opinion based on conservative principles (like individual liberty) and relatively sound reasoning-- at least better than any I've heard up to this point. I'm in favor of that type of thing.
