I agree. Given how this group has been portrayed, if this does become a point of conflict, it will probably be because of ignorance and subconscious preconceptions rather than explicit bigotry.
explicit:
I mean you certainly assume everyone would be okay with it based with what we know about the characters (at least the more main ones), but most of them never breached the topic before so you never know. For instance, there are many very liberally-minded people who have a problem with Transgendered people (and of course evangelical conservatives, but I'm almost sure none of the cast is a conservative).
bhtooefr:
What about Beatrice? Or maybe Jimbo?
explicit:
Well Beatrice is basically a caricature and Jimbo... I mean, he's not really friends with them so much. But he could be anything, we don't know exactly what he's like, just because he's redneckish doesn't mean he can't be a liberal.

Hard to say. Since they're very peripheral characters, they probably wouldn't find out until most of the rest of the cast has known for a while, if ever. By that point, the main cast members who don't already know will likely have had time to get over any issues they might have. In this situation, if Beatrice or Jimbo do end up having a problem with it, they could get rebuked fairly quickly. At least, that's how I would expect things to play out. I could be completely wrong.
