Hello , So coming from India here many gay people support the conservative right wing party BJP , so much so that , today a conservative queer activist said that despite of the left fighting for our rights , they have made queer people just a tool for their leftist propaganda , I wonder if these people be considered class traitors ?

Tbf, sometimes their class interests trump their queer interests (e.g. one could imagine a gay landlord). Whether you want to call the latter community a "class" I feel like is a semantic argument traps you in a silly conversation.

(I know a trans tech business owner who is very pro-israel and seems to be a libertarian. She seems lost mostly, but her economic interests seem to outweigh her trans solidarity. Idk if calling her a class traitor specifically would really change anything)

Edit: not to be class reductionist

But supporting conservatives in your own country , that want to take away rights of your community is traitor behaviour isnt it ?

I wrote a longer thing but figured it would be better to stay in my lane.

Brief summary: Yes, they're a traitor, but if they are a class traitor depends on if you think of the queer community a class.
