Basically you're saying that because people are uneducated and unenlightened we should be happy waiting for them "wise up"?
First of all, plenty of highly educated people are asses and hate mongers, I don't need to tell you this.
Second of all, Positive non-heterosexual role models and the passage of time are not the cure-all you seem to think.Same-sex sexuality has existed the same amount of time as opposite-sex sexuality. Plato and Aristotle said it was superior to opposite-sex sexuality. They were great bum buddies you know. And despite that, thousands of years later, we're still plagued by homophobia
In our modern times, creating and writing "positive" queer role-models for the non-LGBT population is mostly al a "Will and Grace" - in which gays are accessories or titillation.
By the way, when was the last time you heard of people simply "accepting" the fact that they are oppressed. You telling to accept the fact that it will take time is the equivalent of telling me to stop whining about a bloody wound that isn't being treated because the ambulance is stuck in traffic while I'm surrounded by people who have chosen to ignore this fact! What I'm saying is that those people, who are refusing to look my way, open their eyes. Obviously people don't like to give up their privilege. Should I be thanking you for stating the obvious in the most condescending way I've had the displeasure to read?
