I live in a very conservative high income area. We have some gays here. They are productive and good members of the community and totally accepted in our community. One is a very good friend of mine. He is a conservative Republican. The consensus is what they do in the personal life is their damn business.
Our media tends to focus on the radical gays and groomers and present this as the norm. It is not.
Oddly in our school system we have had two incidences of exploitation of an underage high school student. One male and one female and both straight. They suffered from great stupidity. They were fired and ruined as they should have been. What the media shows as reality is a fringe group.
PS
Me = Straight, hyperconservative, libertarian, and above all a strict constitutional believer.
Most Asian countries have lots of gays and no one cares.
But these laws are not about people who are quiet and well behaved: it is about sex tourism. Locals know this, and is why they oppose the USA pushing such laws on them.
