The Democrats are on our (LGBTQ+) side, we know that. They can't get lost in seeming disconnected from what matters to the broader electorate in those areas.

But the only way they should be forced to "own" the issue is if they decide to talk about it constantly without prompting or if the republican challenger is also forced to talk about the issue all the time which doesn't hurt the Dems. So yes the Dems could shoot themselves in the foot but this move by Trump doesn't make them "own" the issue.
