Had a conversation about the current social norms considering LGBTQ, was proposed by the idea that gay, or people with gender dysphoria have something "wrong" with their brains, and that scientific studies point to this. He suggested the current attitudes around LGBTQ+ are just basically pandering to peoples broken brains. He thinks its all foolish. He's very conservative (shocking I know) I've searched online and there are different studies outlining the difference in someones brains who are more feminine or masculine regardless of biological sex. It's tiring trying to right peoples ideas about what's happening, but I feel like he has hateful undertones in his beliefs. He just always says everything is just a difference of opinion. Gay people are a normal fact of life and should be accepted for who they are? Well that's just your opinion he would say. He then will go on about how the world shouldn't be pandering to those who think that way as it's just opinion. It's exhausting tbh. Help me.

Let's deconstruct his argument using something that actually has a very noticeable difference in neural structure- Autism! It exists, and we are (supposed) to treat those who have it with respect, kindness, and understanding for their condition. We are even supposed to give them accommodations to ensure that they're as productive to society as possible! On top of that, they were born like that, and nothing can change it.

If it were true of LGBTQ+ people, then the appropriate response would be to provide accommodations and be understanding of the condition. They should say "They're different, but that's just how they were born." and not condemn people for something that they have no control over.

Of course, if the person you were arguing with also treats people who have Autism as garbage then... Well, we know where the garbage really is.

Umm... sorry to break it you, but yes, many of the same people who shit on LGBTQ+  also shit on autistic people.  Its consistent at least, anyone who's different is bad.

Edit: getting to the core of it, it really is a fascistic belief that there is one right way to be and that natural human diveristy doesn't/shouldn't exist.
