If they believe that current app is censoring them, then moving to queer friendly solution seems to solve this issue, right?

Like not every social media is good for everything

Top software engineering content is also not on facebook

No, because then what happens when the place they move to starts censoring them as well? Then all the places start censoring them? You're basically arguing for "separate but equal", and we know how that works out. The correct move is to fight for your rights, not to assuage bigotry.

But answer the question, why should they have to?

And you are arguing every business must support your agenda, and if not, they are your "enemy"? What an odd take. Again, you are free to use other means of social media to spread your message but no one is obligated to read or support it. And, that does not make them the enemy.

You're confused, I didn't actually make that argument.

Why would they be obligated to host/serve you?

Just like restaurant owner can kick you, they also can.

If you dont agree with it, then vote for social media being treated as infrastructure like roads

They are not obligated, I'm not saying they're obligated. Although restaurant owners can't discriminate, we have laws against that.

What I'm asking you is: why should they have to find a new place?
