When I realized my friends were drinking the TRA koolaid I just backed away. I personally feel like it's a waste of my time to try and change people's minds about this stuff. It can already be extremely difficult to change people's minds about anything; it's much harder to do it when you're dealing with an issue like this where they believe they're on "the right side of history" and that everyone who disagrees must be a bigot.

If you want to stay with him then you're probably just better off trying to avoid even bringing up this topic, and trying to change the subject when it does come up. If you want to try and change his mind about it, I've seen some people suggest the Socratic Method, to try and get him to think about what he believes.
