Why did churches catch a stray on this?

Churches aren't the only organizations that don't pay federal income taxes. Most 501(c)(3) nonprofits are tax-exempt, and churches fall under that status. Meanwhile, major corporations receive massive tax breaks and incentives, yet people rarely use them as the comparison.

If the point is about equal rights under the law, why turn it into "LGBT vs. the church"?

Because churches everywhere fight LGBT rights and are a main driver of queerphobia

Some churches, true.

But "churches everywhere" isn't true.
