The quick summary is that conservatives are uncomfortable with anyone who isn't a bland-assed, cishet, missionary position only, John and June Cleaver, SUV driving resident of a cul-de-sac McMansion in the suburbs...
Because they're violent assholes who fear everyone who isn't them.

We're a couple decades past the great white u.s. migration and now we're dealing with the equally right wing bland assed conservative children of the frightened white assholes who fled cities because of their racist fear and hate.
And their offspring want bland, white, cishet, missionary position only, mega church attending neighbors living in their lives.
Everyone else is still a threat.

No, frightened white conservative people don't deal with with change. They've never liked change. That's why they fled urban areas when social change threatened their tiny white lives.
Now they're afraid of the change that trans people represent.
They're afraid of the change that immigrants represent.
They were afraid of the change that openly gay people represented. They still are.
They're afraid of change that an increasingly diverse country represents.
They're small, fearful assholes.

I mean, that's the whole point, at least in the u.s., of why white conservative suburbia exists. It's the place that frightened white people ran off to when black people stood up for their rights and then engaged in open rebellion when white people refused to allow black people to have rights.
Remember white flight in the 60s, 70s, and 80s? That was a bunch of frightened white people who moved to the suburbs with the expectation that they could immerse themselves in conservative white blandness

They're also afraid of the change that women living lives independently from men represents.
That's why their politicians and judges destroyed abortion rights.
Here in the united states, white conservatives haven't liked any kind of change since about April 12, 1861. And shit really upset them after May 26, 1865.
They're small, fearful assholes. And they want the ability to control an entire society so that they never have to experience change again and never have to fear difference again.
