No, they really shouldn't.
At the same time, these people may or may not come around on their own based on their own personal life experiences. The government telling them what to think essentially isn't going to be the thing that makes them come around. If anything, that's just going to vilify the government in their eyes. It seems to a lot of people as though their personal freedoms are being trampled on by being told what to think and what's acceptable.
I do agree with you wholeheartedly, though. The group of people who are the most ignorant may be the most vocal about their opinions, but they also constitute the vast minority of people I've encountered. The government intends to protect people with non-discriminatory employment laws, but you're always going to have people feeling victimized no matter what. That's just how people are. Everyone's different.
