You don't have to agree with the sexual orientation of others, but it does not give you the right to treat those people in a way that violates their rights or threatens their life. Too many times the various hock types will feed their own ego by feeding on the fear of others and then lash out when that ego and manliness is threatened. The weakness of a few is costing the lives of others and it needs to stop. By all means, give your kids, your friends, your colleagues your opinions on sexual orientation. However, also give those people the right idea that while you may not agree, you defend their right to make that choice or to be that way (not going to debate the issue of born or bred here). No one has the right to take the life of another because of differences or a clash of beliefs. This is a sad statement on our so-called civilized society.
Peace.

It also helps if the media did it right. That was more than sexual orientation. That was transgenderism (ie., the boy was either a cross-dresser -- and very possibly straight -- or wanted to be a girl). This is gender orientation issue and transphobia seems to be more and more the "whipping" child of society and what it "fears".
Sigh.
