Their natural feelings toward it only help to confirm what they "know" from the Bible.

If something makes you uncomfortable/squirm, it sure as hell doesn't make it illegal.
I know people who get ill watching other people eat beef tongue or seafood. I know people who get ill watching an autopsy. Hell, I even know somebody that essentially instapukes at the sight of obese people running/working out at the gym. But last time I checked, those people were also not going out of their way to make those things illegal. That's not even remotely on their radar - it would be irrational, ignorant and indefensible.
