I don't even think it's hypocrisy, because they've changed for all gays, not just their son. The way it looks to me is that they DID NOT THINK about it, they just did as they were told because they'd been conned into thinking that made them good people, but once they realized their son was gay they then DID THINK about it and everything changed.
I think that's why acceptance to gays has come about so quickly over the last decade, before most people didn't think about it, but once they saw we were real people and realized people they knew, maybe even loved, were gay then people began to reexamine their beliefs. Because they'd never actually believed anything before, they'd simply gone with the flow, but once their brain was activated then they stopped going with the flow and started rowing.
