    Some people, regardless of how far their views are, can have those views changed.

    Some people, regardless of how close their views are, cannot have those views changed.

    “Changing their minds” is always an incomplete solution to prejudice. It should be attempted, but cannot “solve” the issue culturally.

      Education could solve this issue, but the so-called “culture war” makes it increasingly difficult.

        Long term, yes, I won’t deny it.

        Excuse me if this is kinda morbid, but there are people who will never change their minds, and educating the next generation that replaces them to be better after they die is slow.

        What is really needed, as soon as possible, is robust legal protections and rights, any way those can be acquired.
