The reason Christians are afraid of gays is because gay people are ignoring one of taboos of Christianity - the taboo of homosexuality - and they live normal lives without it. Which is concerning to Christians because if you can ignore one taboo and live a normal happy life, then which other taboos can you break as well until the dam breaks? Not going to church every Sunday? Using lord's name in vain? Not believing that Mary is a virgin? Masturbating? Not believing in the trinity? Not giving 10% of your paycheck to the church? Not believing in god?
Plus, Christianity needs some fake problem to protect/ cure it's followers from, and when they lose one of the "problems", they lose some of the reasons for their own existence.
So there is a real struggle today in Christianity to find that fake problem which they will sell people cure for. Some churches have thus embraced the battle against so-called wokeism which is a mixture of various fake problems they fought against in the past but under the new name that is unspecified enough for people to accuse Christians of being homophobic, antisemitic, racist, and similar.
The other reason is that Christianity needs a group of people to claim that the nonexistent devil is working through them to pervert Christians. And now that they lost Jews to marginalize, it's hard to find a substitute. Sure, they used gays, but then gays organized and are fighting back. Still, they are not that strong, so they get punched by church leaders here and there (as do Jews in some churches, but not in that quantity).
That said, some churches have embraced gay people, so it is not uncommon to see a gay flag in front of a Catholic church in Germany, but that is pretty much an anomaly if you take the Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
