I ignore it and hope they go away.
Well mostly I ignore it.
I tried the education angle, pulling out the scriptures and showing them where God's love is. After years of doing that I realized that they are bound and determined to be lost in their hatred. There is nothing anyone can do to make them see reason, nor love, nor tolerance.
Having argued for years with so called 'Christians' over what the bible does and does not say (not only on the LGBT issue, but many others) I also realized that these sorts of people are purposefully self imposing their own ignorance. They refuse to learn, refuse to actually think for themselves.
Why? Unknown.
I personally do not understand bigotry. It escapes me.
