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.
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.
tbh i am not homophobic and i support LGBTQ+ but i feel like both the homophobic people and LGBTQ+ take things to far. again i am not homophobic so plz dont downvote me
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!
