It starts young. My kids from the time they could understand saw me and my family scorn and ridicule queers. I use their tactics against them. Identify, isolate, and ridicule. My gaydar has been 98% spot on and I would point them out with a derogatory remark. I did the same with people who sported democrat bumper stickers, cross dressers, too many tats, piercings, and freaks like emos in general. I made fun of everything not cut of my conservative mold and still do. Would church goers support my action, probably not and many would probably tell me how Jesus would love them all. In fact I told my kids that we pray for those people since they need it the most but we do not celebrate nor condone their choices and we will not hide the fact that we don’t.
Insensitive? Yes. Intolerant? Yes. Effective? Yes! All my children are staunch conservative, Christ believing successful people.
