I really don't think that today's senior citizens were more positive about homosexuals forty years ago and changed their minds as they "aged." Homosexuals didn't exists in anyone's daily life.>>

That's utter nonsense. Homosexuals have been around from the beginning of time. What didn't exist in anyone's daily life was the threat of social and even legal ostracism if you didn't accept homosexual evil as good; that's only been the case since, oh, I don't know, 1992 maybe. That's reversible and it SHOULD be reverse.

"Homosexuals have been around from the beginning of time."

Of course, but that's not my statement. Most normal people did not encounter homosexuals in their daily lives in the 1960s. Homosexuals were not open about it. It was still illegal in all 50 states and grounds for losing your job. Justice Powell ruled the way he did in Bowers v. Hardwick precisely because he felt he didn't know any homosexuals. He confided in a clerk about this... we know the story because the clerk was gay and regretted not telling him.

What didn't exist in anyone's daily life was the threat of social and even legal ostracism if you didn't accept homosexual evil as good;

Do you really think that's the only thing stopping normal people with gay friends from cutting them off and never speaking to them? If so, you've got a depressing view of human nature.
