Here is what conservative Christians are afraid of, for those wondering:

O’Rourke says churches against gay marriage should lose tax benefits, draws backlash
A Democratic presidential candidate suggested that Churches and religious schools or organizations are immoral for their stance against homosexuality and should be pressured by the government to accept it, without receiving any significant counters from his fellow candidates, who disagreed with specifically pressuring churches, but agreed with pressuring other private Christian institutions by removing financial benefits.
“Yes,” O’Rourke replied. “There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone, or any institution, any organization in America, that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us. And so as president, we are going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans.”

Christian Concern
We also are seeing what is happening to conservative Christians in other Western countries that have rapidly shifted towards Progressive policies, in places like Canada and the UK. We see the same attitude in virtually all Democrat politicians, who leave no room for compromise, and push for bills such as the so called Equality Bill (inspired by other countries progressive bills) which will force institutions to legally recognize gender ideology. The result of similar bills in places like the UK has been oppressive to conservative Christians. A youtube channel called "Christian Concern" is a UK organization that documents and informs people of what is happening to conservative Christians there. Their channel tells these multiple stories, including an elementary school girl who was suspended for saying she did not want to participate in LGBT Pride Week at her school, a man in a wheelchair dragged away by police officers for praying on the lawn of an abortion clinic, a Christian actress who was forced out of her career when people discovered her beliefs, a street preacher who was arrested after a crowd swarmed him and caused a scene, a woman who was convicted by a judge for refusing to use transgender pronouns and who was told by the judge that such beliefs were "not worthy of respect in a democratic society", and many, many more.
Lastly, I have my own personal experience of losing a scholarship and being failed in my Choir class for refusing to participate in a concert that was done in support of the LGBT movement, as well as the other seven young women who stood with me side by side to appeal for our rights, but were denied even the opportunity to refuse to sing the parts we disagreed with. I learned that I could not trust progressive Christians to stand up for our rights even if we disagreed (the choir director who kicked us out goes to a Methodist church), and watched as our FERPA rights were violated as the choir director informed the choirs that certain people would not be participating in the concert because of their religious beliefs. None but one professor came to our defense. The provost, dean of students, and other department higher ups turned us away.
This story is not unique; many others have experienced similar strife from liberal educators, corporations, judges, politicians, and media. I have more examples than what I have posted here. But I can assure naysayers, our fears are not imagined. I learned that a year and a half ago in my choir director's office as he told us there would be "consequences for [our] actions".
