Normally, when people become friends with someone they disagree with, their views toward that person's beliefs or values soften. I am convinced this is one of the reasons why people in the United States are becoming more accepting of LGBTQA individuals as time marches onward.
In the comments below, name one person you know who is part of the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Questioning-Allies community. Also, if you care to share, tell us how they have shaped your views on the matter.
Love,
