The number one reason why bigotry exists is that people don't have any counterexamples that would adjust their perceptions.
I have seen quite a few conservative, religious people become P-FLAG supporters once one of their children or grandchildren or a beloved niece or godson comes out to them as gay. Not as many as I would like, sad to say, but still quite a few.
Once you find out that someone you love or respect is gay/atheist/Republican/other, you are forced to change your attitudes towards all people who are gay/atheist/Republican/other, if only a little bit.

Sorry, Massachusetts for my idiot Senator. NE conservatives are not of the same breed as theocratic-neocons of today.
