I read an article about the gay rights campaign a while back that was very illuminating. Basically, as more rights have been won, an increasing majority of gay people have been satisfied by their progress and stopped campaigning for more. People who didn't care about acceptance and just wanted to be decriminalized? They aren't part of the movement any more. People who just wanted to be able to get married? Same thing. Now, everyone will still show up for pride events and the like and will talk about how important it is not to backslide, but the percentage of activists is basically perpetually falling.
What this means is that people who define themselves by their sexuality and try to promote any kind of identity-related agenda are increasingly weirder and weirder and simultaneously less and less representative of what it means to be homosexual. So, realistically, it isn't even that you hate gay people for promoting something, but that you hate the people who have so little an idea of what they want to be that ALL they can latch onto is the idea of being gay.
