You can remind them that people actually do get fired simply for being gay and it's completely LEGAL.
And, let them know that a recent study found that politicians who support LGBT rights are in turn supported by the voting public. While the study was about gay marriage -- which is actually more controversial than nondiscrimination ordinances -- pols who supported rights got reelected. And, they were rewarded by voters from both parties.
