Like religion and politics, the acceptance, or not, of LGBT is a very divisive discussion. It's very rare to persuade someone who thinks gay is bad to think otherwise.
I'm comfortable enough in my own straightness not to feel any threat from a gay man. Or a gay woman. Or a gay married couple for that matter. If I was married, my own marriage would be in no way diminished by the marriage of my neighbors down the street, whatever their relationship may be. If it was, I'd be more worried about those neighbors getting a divorce than living together happily. I frankly couldn't care less who is seeing whom or who is marrying whom. The few openly gay couples that attended the Congregational church I went to were fine, upstanding Christians. I'm positive if they saw a man bloodied on the side of the road, they would help him; not spit in his face and kick him for good measure if they knew that he was gay.
Gays don't proselytize. They don't recruit. They don't indoctrinate. You aren't going to get a generation of gay boy scouts by letting a few openly gay boys in.
I wish the TL-USA all the best in the world. I really do. Because I can also respect the need to have a choice.
I'm fairly positive that won't change any minds either.
