Look at Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson. Look at Phyllis Schlafly. Plenty of gay people have worked against gay rights, using their insider knowledge to help their supposed oppressors. In return they get power and prestige.

Some individuals are happy to sell out anybody just to gain power and wealth. They revel in their special status.
