2. All the families who have exiled their gay children.

Sadly, that happens all too often, macho daddy being unable to take the fact that sonny boy isn't going to be a womanizing chip off the old blockhead or saintly mummy realizing that her sweet little girl isn't going to produce a son in law to brag about or grandchildren to show off. Those people have cut themselves off from the "gay contamination" in their families and are likely lost causes.

Everybody else has gay cousins, aunts and uncles, children, or parents. That's the way it's supposed to be.

Antigay bigots are a lot like racists. They might have friends or family in the target group who they accept and even like. It's all those "others out there" that they don't know whose rights they want to strip.
