Some may know, but I'm natively Texan. Not all are like this, but the area I grew up was super religious so I grew up hating gay people. And it continued until I was 13 until I got my first gf who had a gay brother. I talked to him and I realized to myself: Why the hell do I care what other people feel attracted to? And her brother was cool so I learned that it was stupid to hate them for no reason.

I still feel bad I ever hated people for their sexual preference to begin with. But I changed, so that's what matters most. I'm glad I met her brother, it changed me and showed that being kind and understanding can break most barriers. In my case, Idk how I'd feel these days if he hadn't been patient with me
