I am indifferent to homosexuality just as I am indifferent to heterosexuality. I am not subject to such ignorant discriminations nor is it within my moral capacity to impose prejudice upon something so infinitesimally insignificant. And while I express a deepest gratitude towards my constitutional right to speak freely, that same right has ushered in a society where every spoken opinion is given some merit of recognition; every citizen of America, every man, woman, and child individually believe they know what is best for the welfare of our countrymen, so much so the integrity of our value system has lost its depth, its very ideals obscured by its officious nature. But like minded people attract. Over time they seek out out one another with fervent interest, eager to establish institutions which engender conformity, community, and purpose. And no singular tenant attracts more membership than purpose, for it is every human being's dream to achieve satisfying meaning in their life... I will invoke an abysmal example, but one which will undoubtably covey my message. [i]"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."[/i] I familiarize homophobia with racism. In times better now forgotten, there have been numerous examples where the people of this world have willingly beset upon each other bloodletting racism; They have enslaved, they have killed, they have even committed genocide. Each time, each injustice was met with explosive opposition, and yet regardless of their depravity, each atrocity still managed to amass a large enough fellowship to earn the ire of the entire world. And while homophobia has yet to reach such a critical level of emergency, its prevalently existing prejudice mirrors our species' dark saga accordingly. TL;DR In the late future, Americans will retrospect our current history with disgust. They will shudder and cringe about how homosexuality has been treated and will remember with profundity that we allowed such injustice. They will disgrace those who vilified it and praise those who accepted it.
