I agree with most of that, but I disagree with the part about not legislating and publicly shaming. I'll probably get a little crap for this, but I don't really care at this point. "Tolerance and acceptance" is what got us where we are. The slippery slope fallacy has all but been proven to be true. "Oh all we want is to be able to get married". Fast forward 7 years after it was legalized and now we have open pedophiles grooming children, transvestites dressing up as literal demons and reading gay propaganda to children, gay choirs openly singing "jolly" songs about forcibly converting children to homsexuality against their parents will.

There are just some things you can't allow to become accepted in a morally upright society because they're degenerative by their very nature. This is one of those things. It's just like a societal addiction "Oh its just one cookie" turns into "it's just 5 cookies", then 10, then a whole box, etc. etc. Until you're the societal equivalent of a fat obese invalid who blames your problem on everyone else and demand everyone pity you and give you special treatment for breathing.

Since you're apparently not a practicing Christian, I won't get into the religious side of things, but it's hard to argue for "acceptance and tolerance" of gays when every single time in history that homosexuality or it's derivatives has become openly acceptable, that society either collapsed completely (as in the case of the Greeks), or had an intense revolution with global implications (The Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany).
