GLAAD, Barack Obama, the HRC, and the Trevor Project disagree.
You tried, though.
If their argument is that One Million Turds protested the song, then lol. They protest everything, and I mean everything. They are One Million Women Who Need To Get Laid.

Just years ago YouTube parodies like these would have included homophobic epithets or disclaimers like "no homo" at the end. Today, thanks to Jepsen's video, guys feel permission to toy with sexuality-bending situations, and in the process they've indirectly expressed support and acceptance of their gay peers.

I feel like I'm reading a parody blog.
Let's see what happens if Carly puts out a video with two guys making out and grinding on top of one another. What the "acceptance" of the video shows is that as long as you're a masculine, straight-looking homosexual, people won't care. That as long as you don't disrupt peoples' idea of heteronormativity, everything will be fine. That's not progress or acceptance.
