I think “the times they are a changin’” can work both ways. Those who have jumped on this LGBTQ band wagon may be in for a big fat surprise in the coming decades.

I think the voices of dissent, angry, frustrated, simmering - are something which tells of a storm on the horizon: The ignore at their own peril, from a June article:_____________________________ "Gay OREO inspires Outrage Not everyone is happy with Oreo's support for gay rights on Facebook. Oreo did its thing for Pride Week yesterday, posting a Facebook status update with an image of a rainbow-colored Oreo cookie imposed over messages stating simply, "Proudly support love!" and "June 25/Pride." Nice, neat and to the point, and entirely unsurprisingly it attracted no small amount of publicity - some of it, sadly, rather less than complimentary. Some of the negative comments claim to be frustrated by the politicization of the cookies, but most are a bit more straight-up anti-gay, like that of Janis Petron, who wrote, "You gay people make me sick, God made us to be man and women not gay or lesbian p.s. NO MORE OREOS." Or Cody Patterson, who said, "I can't support a business that supports gays." Aaron Foster described Oreo parent company Kraft as "Yet another liberal company destroying our religious values and teaching immorality," while Trevor Day pasted himself in the face with the Frying Pan of Unintentional Irony by stating, "Gays can all go kill them selves they are sinners and will burn in hell" while rocking a Neil Patrick Harris avatar. Mads Fjord pointed out the inevitable counter-campaign boycott, telling his Facebook followers, "Hate [homosexuals] so much. So many whose skulls I want to smash in with a hammer. I thank those who support this boycott and GOD BLESS AMERICA." And yes, there is apparently some form of boycott going on, although the actual level of organization looks iffy at best - hardly a surprise to anyone who's seen the One Million Moms in action. Kraft, for its part, is unfazed, issuing a statement reiterating its support for gay rights." http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118126-Gay-Oreo-Inspires-Internet-Outrage
