Great speech, but I'm sure it was lost on anyone who already had their minds made up about "family". The problem is not that these people need to be educated by great speeches like this; the problem is that they are committed to an ideology that dictates what they believe, independent of facts. Max Plank was frustrated when a lot of older physicists rejected his new observations about how light is emitted in quanta, and it led him to comment that there are no thought revolutions; the older generation just eventually dies. That's the best we can hope for with the social conservative bigots--some sunny day, they will die.
