Hey Pandas, To Those Who Were Homophobic Before, How And Why Did You Change Your Views? (Closed)

Tell us!

well I wasn't exactly homophobic but I was raised as a christian, anyways I found a verse saying (John 13:34) “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” that made me see that even though they (maybe you) are different, I shouldn't treat them any different. we are all people in the end, with different beliefs and views we shouldn't treat each other different even if they are.

Very few Christians believe that a lot of them say that but few actually live it.

I was raised Christian thought people who were LGTBQ+ was weird most of my life. Then I started meeting new people and removing the bias my parents and raised me to see life through and now have many LGTBQ+ friends who I love support and protect almost more then my other friends because they are often targets of mean comments or actions.

I'm not sure I would have classified myself as homophobic but I was raised Mormon and they are very anti-gay. It wasn't long after I stopped believing in god that I stopped caring about how other people live their lives. As long as it isn't hurting me I could care less what kind of genitals you prefer. I also don't care what you identify as but if you look typically male or female I will call you that unless you tell me you prefer another label.

I used to be semi-homophobic. I changed my views because i am a ✨ lesbian ✨ and i didn't know that until a year ago. don't worry, i stopped being homophobic when i was about 8 or 9, because i started questioning why it was okay to be mean to people just because they were gay, i had just been raised that way and now i am a proud lesbian and i have a supporting family.

I was (still am too ughhh) raised in a Very homophobic Christian family. I've always been told that anything lgbtq+ was wrong and a sin, and as a young impressionable kid I believed it. Then I figured out I am by no means straight. *internal conflict* *internal conflict* *internal conflict* I did some research and prayed a lot, and I no longer believe it's wrong to be lgbtq+. I'm still a christian, but I don't believe my parents' homophobic bullcrap anymore. I kinda wanna give 13 year old me a nice reality slap tbh.

I was not raised in a homophobic family, more like a homophobic church. my parents didn't share their views on lgbtq+ with me until i came out (they're fine with it) so i was debating and debating on whether i should come out to them, and i was in serious serious denial that i was lesbian for a long time, because i was scared to disappoint people i know and myself, now im glad a lot of people know im not straight, except my church won't accept it.

i used to be a bit homophobic, nobody told me anything about homosexuality and I thought it was inappropriate, though I wasn't against it. I started using the internet more and that's how i got educated about it. skip forward 1.5 years and hey, I'm gay too!
