Thanks, I actually appreciate the honest perspective. It's not the end of the world if people don't understand it.

As to the bashers many psychotherapists who’ve had ‘queer bashers’ referred to them by the courts learn the majority are repressing their own ambiguous sexual identity.

That's true, as they think of us as having body dysphoria so it would take a long time for them to understand what gender fluidity is. I certainly believe the 'anti gay' rhetoric is absolutely projecting their own sexual desires.
