I don't understand why people think combating bias with bias is the answer. I think that there are three, not just two, viewpoints on this: biased pro-gay view, biased homophobic view and the non-biased, openminded view. I think that pro-gays believe that if anyone is not for their ideology - whether neutral or non-condoning, but still accepting - they believe that they must be a homophobe and their viewpoints are automatically politically incorrect. The homophobic viewpoint is either to take advantage of the person desiring to change their unwanted SSA in their efforts to forward their personal views of how everything should be, or a general misunderstanding and lack of education on the matter whilst drawing predisposed conclusions. The non-biased viewpoint is to support anyone's rights to their aspirations and choices. Why is it that pro-gays viciously claim that anyone who wants to change is only changing to conform with society (when mind you, society is already accepting), rather than respecting that someone may want to get married and have a family? I believe they think they're being attacked and/or rejected and so react in self defence, and that the other person is automatically biased against them if they don't share their point of view. I just don't get why people can't hold an unbiased view. They claim everyone else is biased but themselves, when they themselves are not respecting the rights of others and their personal choices. If their choices are respected, why can't others' be? People are capable of change. A journey may be hard, but that shouldn't stop the person wanting to get to the destination to automatically conclude it's not worthwhile trying for the destination. Just because someone slips up a few times doesn't mean their journey is a failure. That's why people learn from their mistakes and continue undeterred.
