What I wanted to say is, she's young, obviously very into LGBT rights, and will have a chance to realize her mistake. Which I'm pretty sure, she will at some point in time.
Simply belonging to the LGBT community isn't any excuse, if that wasn't clear.
I speak for myself that when one is young or even at my age, to err is what sometimes we do. And I will also say that pride pauses thinking about it, to safeguard a sense of dignity. Alas, I get it, admitting a mistake creates fear of people using the "you erred once you err everytime". I know better, as ample oportunity to stand my ground on a subject is a given way for someone to use that as a rethoric against a position. Bottom line is that young people have taught me a couple of times and my pride has never given me pause in accepting carefull reasoning and admitting my wrongs.
Shit happens and in this matter I will use the old cliche: I hope to be proven wrong. Then I will stand up and admit it.
To paraphrase the professor: I have doubts and uncertainty, I prefer to live in doubt than to be sure of anything. It does't bother me.
