i think it's even more baby brained than that. yeah there's old bureaucrats in places like china and india who genuinely think that homosexuality is bourgeois decadence. but the argument being made is that since american corporations can make use of LGBT symbols in their brands, therefore, the gay agenda is a reactionary agenda meant to exert control.
leftism 101 always include assertions of capitalism's fluidity and capability to domesticate, wield, and consume even the symbols of its enemies. the che guevara shirt is the most cliché example ever of that. fact is that american culture is changing and changing fast. as lgbt is becoming more and more accepted it becomes less of a lightning rod against all sorts of power struggles. not just limited to capitalism in and of itself.
it's not the gay agenda, it's the fact that american capitalism's main form of social discipline is consumption and it can sell anything and everything to people as soon as they are willing to buy them.

That is true, yet the "Christian" character of the reaction in the US means that it will be a useful canary to see who is fine with allying themselves with that reaction that tries to claw in parts back to pre industrial times of white supremacy.
i wonder what will be the next gay panic once our generation gets old and our parents are raging against trans people from beyond the grave. first as history and then as farce, and farce again. you know the jazz.
