It's not about getting people to align their beliefs in a different direction, it's about removing the Brainwashing Machine.
The Brainwashing Machine does a lot more than just encourage gayness, or transness, or whatever,. That's just the icon the dial is currently set to. The Brainwashing Machine purposefully aligns beliefs, and has been set to many different icons on the dial throughout our history.
What we should be focusing on is dismantling the Machine, no matter where it's set, not setting it to "straight" and forcing that down everyone's throats.
We should set it to "think for yourself," and "be OK with other people thinking for themselves." Bonus points if we can be trained to engage in debate in earnest to get closer to the Truth (no matter WHAT the Truth is), rather than worrying about reinforcing our own beliefs.
