‘anti-gay’ does imply “I want there to be less homosexuals.”
I suspect that it is difficult to make progress from that point without first clarifying whether what is meant is “I want fewer people to have same-sex sex,” “I want fewer people to want same-sex sex,” “I want fewer people to endorse same-sex sex,” something else, or some combination.
Agreed, but it’s not clear to me progress needs to be made from that point. To my knowledge, no one who is participating in or a topic of the conversation is anti-gay in any of those senses, if we measure wants by expended effort to achieve those wants.
