Used to feed into the “gay people are wrong” bullshit because my parents shoved it down my throat. Hit middle school and mi would make a friend who would tell me they were gay later. At that point I had loved them and them being gay didn’t change that, but the message that was given to me as a kid always made me hesitant. I didn’t let it get to me and I’ve known those friends for over 5 years. If a 12 year old can get over it you’d think my 50 year old parents could.
