Hee! Thank you! I didn't want him suddenly, "Huh, I'm gay, and that's okay!" and I didn't want him to be so anti-anything at the beginning that it didn't make sense for him to change.

I had friends in college who were extremely religious in the Christian faith, but firmly believed each individual had the right to choose for themselves as they themselves had no right to judge. I based this Arthur off of them as, like you said, the world needs more people like that. :)
