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. 

How do you suggest then that you change those discomforts?  I can think of ways to change laws and make logical arguments, but I really can't think of a way to change those kinds of things.

Same way many other movements have: make it culturally normalized where people don't get grossed out or think much about it, true equality. This can be done with logical appeals, but that won't work on many voters, you have to continue the cultural presence and continue having people come out to family and friends to show how it doesn't change or define a person.

The more it's in culture, the more comfortable people are with it
