Because, when they eventually run across that one person, or some other person, in a work situation or some other situation, they will already be equipped to coexist comfortably, rendering this whole topic a non-issue.
The idea that the continued comfort of intolerant people is more worthy of protection than a person's continued secure employment/livelihood is one that I not only can't accept, but one that I can't figure out how any decent person could approve of. | In general, people tend to hire people who are like themselves. It's just human nature.
And I think you'll have a hard time convincing anyone running a small business to invest in "diversity sensitivity training" to try and convince their employees to put up with people they have a moral disagreement with.
Running a business is already hard enough!
But it's interesting you would consider brainwashing in this scenario, but reject therapy as a possible cure for homosexuality?
