Nope. "Demonization of gay people" is not a MAGA tenet. It is a tenet of the religious right, but that's only one faction of MAGA, and not the majority. One reason Trump is more popular than, say, Mike Pence or Tim Scott, is because the non-church-going Trumpkins think their moral obsessions are too weird. But if anything comes across as weirder than the religious right, it's trans activists.

Oh, really? Trump's 6/8/23 remarks: "Leftwing gender insanity being pushed on our children is child abuse..... pass a bill that the only genders recognized by the government are established at birth.....no one had heard of (trans) until the radical left invented it just a few year ago". So, not just demonized but a Nancy Pelosi plot.
Read your Trump quote again. It is pretty confused. That's because in this instance, like so many, Trump is just trying to say stuff he doesn't understand and doesn't believe in order to validate the strongly held beliefs of one faction of his supporters. They will give him credit to paying lips service to their concerns, while the rest of his supporters barely understand it, as intended. It's how the big tent of Trumpism keeps so many disparate factions together.
