So long as they don't force same sex love on someone who isn't there's nothing wrong with it as far as I can see. Sure it's biologically unnatural, but I think at this point humans in general have lost the ability to use that excuse without being a bit hypocritical.

Don't really get why people are so against something that has no effect on their lives other than seeing it (unless you are gay or have gay friends).

Because it disgusts them to see something that is "not normal", but it really is normal, more than people think. Gays and Lesbians are about 10% of the world's population. Why is this weird?
It's the conservatism that blocks people's minds. It conserves their minds to think in a certain way.

You can tolerate everything, even nude people in the streets. Most people wouldn't tolerate nudists in the streets, but nudists actually tolerate that. That's only a matter of culture and civilization. Same with gay.

They can do whatever they want in the US. As long as their decisions don't affect me I don't mind whatever they do.

Hope they realise this decision cannot be reversed easily.

It can be reversed, but it would be hard to reverse it.

There's a theory out there that says the prohibition of certain things creates a natural urge for that thing in society. We can see this a lot in many situations in U.S. history, like the alcohol prohibition, resulting in many speak-easies that turned out to drastically "normalize" the usage of bars for average Americans after alcohol was legalized, or the marijuana prohibition that continues to exist, where an absurd amount of people have begun using marijuana recreationally only really after it was initially banned, and so on. This could be said about many, many things, not just with substances like I've mentioned, but with cultural things in general. You can see it a lot in clothing; swimwear rules have changed drastically in the past century, namely starting when men who went to the beach shirtless were fined, resulting in tons of men going shirtless to the beach, which is why we now think it's weird if a man has a shirt on at the beach--because no one does that anymore. This could also be applied to bikinis and such. What a culture like America's (very broad one) seems to result in is an introduction of well-defined rules to replace vague, unspoken rules, only to result in people being upset with such decisions, and fighting through action against it.

I have a feeling the acceptance of flamboyance in American culture sprouted rather recently in reaction to the rules against same-sex marriage, likely starting post-1970's protesting, with a lot of drag (which I believe is a unique form of protest through near comedic means) and gender-role swapping in the 80's and 90's, which ultimately means an entire generation is raised during this period, causing some (liberal) people to see that flamboyance as good and, when pared with homosexuality rights, great. However, the extremity is eventually...

...which is pretty disturbing to people not quite in tune to that. Now with homosexual marriage legal and assured in America (though I'm sure various pastors etc. will have no interest in following that law), I predict that a lot of this higher level "pro-love" attitude will simmer down over the next few decades/generations, as there isn't really a political point to defy anymore.

Does this mean drag is done? Nah. Does this mean near-naked men will stop twerking in public and party atmospheres? Nope (is it disturbing that a kid would do it? Yes, but there's nothing you can really do to change that). But it does mean that future generations will potentially begin seeing a man dressed up as "a woman," acting like "a woman," or both, the same way they would a woman doing those same things. That said, a straight girl doesn't look at a slutty girl, half-naked, twerking her ass off and always think it's disgusting. There are girls that will think it's disgusting, absolutely, but this just hints that since there is nothing to rebel against anymore, homosexuality may return to its roots of definition, and the metrosexual, flamboyant, Tomboy/Village People stereotype of homosexuality will drift away as something different.

Basically:

In general i just find twerking to be distasteful no matter who does it.
