The most fascinating thing about the conservative mindset concerning homosexuality is that they think that if they pretend homosexuality doesn't exist then it will magically disappear. My dad used to complain about how Elton John and Adam Lambert "promoted" sexuality -- as if sexuality can be promoted, as if people with green eyes "promote" having green eyes.
This, I believe, is a result of the fact that (as studies have indicated) a large number of homophobes have homosexual feelings, my dad included. They believe that just because it is a choice for them to not "give in" to their desires, homosexuality is a choice that can be avoided if our kids don't think it's the "right" way to live, which includes censoring pro-gay speeches and getting angry at people for even talking about it.
That kid is awesome. Fight on.
