Most people, especially people in power, can't differentiate the two and make laws and shift societal views based on those gut reactions 

Then you change the laws, beccause those are based on logic and reason.  Logically, I am convinced that there is no problem with gay people showing affection in public.  So, if there was a law to ban gay PDAs I'd be against it.

But feelings are not always (maybe not even usually) based on logic.  So, if I see gay people making out, I might still be all like ewww even if I logically don't think it's wrong.

Again, many of those in power use feelings instead of logic to dictate political decisions, because they are voted by the people, which also use gut feelings and what they think is "gross," which is why many states in the US still lags behind regarding lgbt rights (as well as climate change, healthcare, etc), as well as for the longest time racial and sex inequality.

I'm fine with individuals thinking I'm gross, I couldn't care less. The problem is those discomforts internalize for many people and change voting patterns for people that ultimately lead to negative consequences for the lgbt community.
