Someone crazy can tell you your actions are wrong. Someone crazy can insist on all kinds of things that are crazy, and insist that you are the crazy person. And by their standards, you can’t disprove it.
So is there any point in arguing with such a person? Or lending any credence to their perspectives?
People who believe LGBTQ+ people are “groomers” or doing something unnatural are objectively wrong, and the fact that they believe they’re right doesn’t change that, nor does it obligate me to treat their mistaken beliefs as anything but the mistakes they are, and I won’t pretend otherwise or grant their hate and bigotry any respect.
Why are they objectively wrong? I can’t prove they are objectively right either but you seem confident that they are. So please, give me the info to shut their mouths off
Religious? Religions don’t universally condemn homosexuality, and even if they did, there is no reason to believe any one religion is actually right about it (or anything else).
“Grooming” children? That’s not a thing with LGBTQ+ people. Sure you can find one or two examples here and there, but there’s no evidence that a statistically significant portion of LGBTQ+ people abuse children. In fact, the opposite is true. There is zero evidence at all that a statistically large proportion of abusers are LGBTQ+. So the revolting “groomer” accusations are literally just made-up, disgusting garbage, and the people making that up are doing so strictly to hurt people who haven’t hurt anyone else.
So yes, they are objectively wrong, by every conceivable measure.
But good luck convincing one. These are reality-challenged people, confidently asserting shit they know nothing about, and utterly impervious to learning that they are wrong.
Sometimes the only thing that actually can get through to someone like that is finding out their own beloved family members are gay. That sometimes works. But it’s like they can’t even conceptualize the idea that they’re wrong until it happens to them.
I can prove 1+1=2 by axioms, you can’t prove the Earth is flat. Simple as

Which angle would you like to look at it from?
Religious? Religions don’t universally condemn homosexuality, and even if they did, there is no reason to believe any one religion is actually right about it (or anything else).
Nature? The existence of animals that engage in homosexual relationships is well known, and there are even animals that display the behaviors of the opposite sex, so it’s not like there’s a single leg for bigots to stand on scientifically.

I mean yeah, religions criticise lust and “casual sex” more than the gender of those involved
