    Homophobia

    I was raised in a right wing, rural area, and i didn’t meet a gay person til higschool. When he said he was gay, i assumed he was joking.

      Grew up semi-rural south and same thing but my parents took me to see The Birdhouse for some reason (I was 14) and I was like “OH!”

      Not gay myself, but thankfully I did not grow up to be the bigoted person my parents wanted me to be.

      it was semi-common in the early 2000s in cities, but not anymore after 2010.
