for me it comes from an entirely different direction, but it doesnt matter - leftists shouldnt try to be normal, they should change what's considered normal if revolution is outright out of the window. Marx wasnt normal, Lenin wasnt normal, the forgotten "organizer" toiling for the party wasnt "normal". It's a harmful (as you pointed out) and conformist aspiration. Nobody useful will like for wearing a fitted suit with the right buttons open, nobody worth befriending will like you for conformism
I think my gripe is that Bigotry isnt "weird". that is such an understatement. Bigotry is hostile to human life and progress.
it's puzzling that we even think we have to join the KH-TW battle against Trump. I don't think they went out saying "we are the normal ones against the left and right weirdos" but I really doubt they would not resort to all the nasty dogwhisles if a genuine left challenge emerged. Like remember Bernie Sanders and the borderline antisemitic depictions of him rubbing his hand, next to money etc etc (this isnt an endorsement of BS). I think liberal populism is not straight out to stigmatize queer and nd people right now at the moment with the "weird" slogan, but I think they wouldnt hesitate a moment if leftists/minorities actually challenge their power - if that makes sense? At the very least it doesnt challenge power in a meaningful way and I find it dismal people jump on the "weird" bandwagon and hitch themselves to this by defending this shit.
