This is how you do it, right here.
If you are a member of a "community" that may not necessarily be generally accepted by broader society, be the best human you can be.
Set a shining example for others so that when others disparage the stereotype, the people who's lives you've touched will defend you.
What? The gay couple down the street? I disagree, they helped plan, cook for and even helped host my daughter's engagement party. You're mistaken, they are good people.
You're wrong about lesbians, they are wonderfull people. The one upstairs helped me fix my car at cost plus a twelve pack.
Out of everyone that tried to console me when my dog died, the Atheist next door said the most meaningful things that really helped me put things in perspective.
Skeptics aren't cynical people, I know them to be pragmatic and hopeful. The one across the street showed me some excellent resources to help me help my kids with their homework.

No, absolutely not. I would say you are unassuming and nonprejudiced. Because you didn't assume it, dispite stereotyped signs they might be, I think says it isn't an "issue" for you. Something that isn't a big deal... that their orientation is no more a feature of them than say, one is blond or one is taller than the other.
