This just shows they are perfectly capable of understanding these orientations or preferrences, but they just won't, because they CAN get out without acknowledging or supporting these. Same thing goes for women's rights, liberty, freedom and safety. Bigots can perfectly understand at least the basics, but they can get away without acknowledging it, and even using women, so they do and will always be like this. And, this is why fight against these hate and bigotries are eternal fights, if you leave ground, these will increase and increase, but if you keep on fighting, don't expect these to go away too, just the intensity will be a bit less, most of the time.
