It's pretty clear to me that more is going on in peoples' minds than any kind of straightforward reasoning calculation.

Yes. You cant reason someone out of a position that they werent reasoned into. This is why I see the majority reaction to BL as a gut reaction, an inherent or inbuilt disgust , its based on an emotional reaction, not reason. There are institutions and actions that cause much greater harm than the small number of BLs in the world, by numbers at least, and yet if you suggest that, or suggest that if BLs deserve to be killed on sight, then these other more harmful institutions should also deserve the same, they react with anger, or bewilderment.

This is why I think that our position will never dramatically improve. You cannot argue with an emotional reaction.
