Can someone explain what LGBTQ rights are in danger of being taken away?

on the news they were talking about how important those "Pride"Marches were w/ gay rights in danger. I haven't heard Trump say anything about the gays

Silly fear mongering.

None - they just want an excuse to party in the streets and look at each other's dicks

They aren't. They haven't. They won't. It's another bout of fearmongering from the Left to gin up outrage where there should be none.

Trump is first potus who's is open supporter to gays but many gays are liberal amd camt fathom that. There are no "rights" at stake unless one considers special treatment and other white knightning for them.

Bi, as in two. Seems like they have some self policing to do.

Trump, as the Republican candidate in the 2016 election, got the main brunt of it but he is actually very pro gay rights.
It is possible that they feared he would have to go along with the "party line" once in office, and Republicans have shown varying levels of interest in anti-gay legislation.
I don't think their rights are specifically in jeopardy, but this country hasn't shown an impeccable track records in rights either. So more so a knee-jerk reaction with some basis in historical events than an actual threat.

This is their gripe.
They are drama and attention whores and queens.
Obama and the Degenerate Dems catered to this small segment of degenerates.
"Communities" such as LBGHQXYZ, BLM, and such ... basically take lack of direct attention and catering ... as "ANTI"-them.
They want Trump to kiss their asses...and, he won't ... so, he's the devil, literally Hitler, and such.

Its real simple. Trump isn't busy kissing their arse, and making meaningless gestures such as Facebook filters or lighting up the Whitehouse like a rainbow. Basically his lack of attention and arse kissing = rights being taken away and camps being constructed.

I think a lot of people in that community are more afraid of Mike Pence when it comes to gay rights, but as VPOTUS, he really isn't in a position to enact policies against them. When it comes to Trump, I really believe he just wants to let the LGBTQ community do their own thing.
LGBTQ policies are the last thing on this administration's mind right now. They have so many other things that they are focused on.

close your eyes, what do you see, nothing....none are being threatened...country doesn't have the energy to try to reverse

None of them. They are just attention whores.

Sexual orientation is not protected under the federal civil rights act in the same manner as is race. Under many other federal anti-discrimination codes, sexual orientation is not afforded the same protections as is gender, nationality, and religion. At the state and local level, many government bodies have attempted to either explicitly extend these protections to the LGBTQ community or explicitly state that they are not included, and thus subject to discrimination under the right circumstances (protection of children, religious objection, etc) The Obama era DOJ woul often bring suit against municipalities and states which would attempt the latter, basically taking a hard stance against government bodies treating sexual orientation differently than other protected statuses (even though the federal government offers no such protections). The Trump administration has essentially abandoned those law suits and is now allowing federalism to play its course. Extending protections to LGBTQ individuals is up to the state and local governments. The LGBTQ community that once saw the federal government fighting for them against localities which refused to make them protected minorities now sees the federal government as ambivalent, thus jeopardizing their protected status in many areas.

This.
Plus add in there isn't much power or excitemtn of being an activist, if there isn't a threat to overcome

Yeah, this is what i am questioning on a daily basis. For the last YEAR there have been LGBDTQXYZ reps on the street corners in midtown Atlanta. They stop you as you are walking by for a Q&A survey and a donation if you are feeling good. I don't know what they are afraid of. No, not going to take the survey.

If all it truly is, is what two consenting adults do in the bedroom (which we know that that's not the argument), then federal protection is ridiculous. That would be like working up anti-discrimination legislation protecting men and women who are big fans of reverse cowgirl.
The problem is that to them, it's much more than just what two consenting adults do in the bedroom. It's a sub-cultural thing. If it weren't, then you wouldn't need a LGBT Netflix category, or SirusXM radio station, or a parade or an entire month to tell the world that you like to touch the same parts that your bathing suit covers.

The "community" seeks protected status for one reason only, to be able to file lawsuits to line their pockets and those of trial lawyers.
