If you view Cliff's position through, say, applying the same ideals to disabled people and that no accommodations should be made for their unique challenges, you can see where it falls apart. Not everyone is treated equally, nor should they be.
Because there is a significant minority of the population that views the LGBTQ+ as lesser than, it seems reasonable we make accommodations to balance that, and that this group may need special protections of their rights from politicians holding these views and legislating damaging policies. While they may not be technically illegal policies, they are harmful.
Is banning rainbow crossings illegal? No, of course not. Is it harmful? Pretty obviously so(empowering bigots).
