They literally did lose the war on gay acceptance. It became politically infeasible for conservatives to run on anti-gay platforms. That’s the entire reason they switched all of their efforts towards trans people.

Now, do they plan to come after gay people once they’ve annihilated trans people? Absolutely. There is no chance they have forgotten about them as their ideology does not allow minorities to exist as equals and they are 100% using trans people as their foot in the door to eventually come after everyone else.
