    Okay, please tell me do I convince an anti-intellectual logic that they refuse to use? I have tried to with no success.

    I do not want my gay friends imprisoned for wanting to be happy, I do not want my trans friends lynched for being able to look at themselves in the mirror. How do you propose I convince those that do through logic alone, when these people are only willing to consider emotional/illogical arguments?

    I don’t care about arguing, I care about solutions, what are your solutions to this discrimination we both hate?

      You’re talking sheer pregmatics here? Awesome, now you’re speaking my language.

      Celebrate her relationship. Turn her into a gay folk hero for hooking up with women despite the upbringing / programming.

        Such a solution could actually work (the example of a Republican finding no controversial stuff in her school’s curriculum comes to mind), however the problem is it would require the person involved to disassociate with there (presumably anti-gay) friends and family and be accepted by her former “enemies”, which would be especially hard if they had a public facing role. They possibly may even have to reject a emotionally driven worldview/ideology they may have adopted, which is quite difficult.
