The wording of this comment by Ken Harrison is very interesting to me because of what it says about his political side ("we") rather than anyone else. They worried about gay people and same-sex marriage all through the '80s, '90s, 2000s, early 2010s. The Supreme Court settled it. Since then, they've had to change their focus. They have nothing more to say about gay people, because their claim was always that legalizing same-sex marriage would cause society to fall apart, and that prophecy didn't come to pass. Now, they have to change the topic and also change their target. They picked trans people as a new target. They are pretending that transgender people *just suddenly popped into existence* (when in fact transgender people have always existed, and certainly they existed in the 20th-century United States), and for bonus points within their in-group, they are claiming that legalizing same-sex marriage somehow caused the existence of transgender people (so now they appear not to have been wrong, after all, in their prediction that same-sex marriage would bear social consequences). But, of course, "we" did not "go from" same-sex marriage to transgender people, unless he's referring to the targets of his own group's rhetoric.
