The reason it feels like rocket science to a lot of people is that they realize that 40 years ago our institutions and popular culture agreed that being gay was wrong, 60 years ago they agreed that black people were inferior to white people, 250 years ago our institutions believed that owning another human was OK and women were also considered property.
What is 'repugnant' to society isn't fixed, and isn't always universally agreed upon.
Someone with your view 60 years ago would have said similar things about depictions of love between queer people, or 100 years ago would have said that different races shouldn't be allowed to post pro interracial marriage messages in the newspaper.
