Semantics is very important here. When you refer to promotion you need to specify exactly what is being "promoted" - you cannot claim to promote the fact that Gay People exist, because this is an irrefutable fact. This is a matter of accepting reality.

Semantics is everything when buzzwords like "indoctrination" and "promotion" are being smeared all over the popular media outlets. Are we, as rational people, going to actually debate whether certain people have the right to exist?
