We can only hope. But we know how resistant to change they are.
And yes, I think the day is coming. Physiological differences (not caused by lifestyle, drug use, etc.,) have already been noted. And why is it that they ignore the fact that there is evidence of homosexual behavior throughout nature?
Yes, sooner or later, science will tell the xtians that here is another thing they're not allowed to hate. I wonder what they will choose after that? Oh . . . silly me . . . atheists!!!
The obvious answer is to reject science and embrace faith in their religion. Many do this for evolution, and pretty much all of them do this for what the mind is, and the fact that since the mind is some brain processes or the results of some brain processes, it will cease to exist when the brain processes stop. People who do not ignore the facts know that there is no possibility of an afterlife at all.
So, again, the response for many will be to just reject science and have faith in religion. People reject evidence and believe drivel all the time, so it is ridiculous to suppose that they are going to stop doing that now.
