    They are not just bigots, they are people that were rised with a poor point of view and they attach to the point of view of others without having a criticism mentality. They just repeat . Like religion. The problem if you expose your private life as a cost, society is fucked up and doesn’t matter people will always criticize you. No matter if is of sexual orientation or if you don’t like football. Or alcohol.

      Bigotry thrives on ignorance. By coming out and speaking up, people are actively challenging a status quo that enables such ignorance.

      You’ll sometimes notice this when a homophonic parent has to confront their own child coming out instead of just a bogeyman ‘other’. Not always, but occasionally, they’ll actually rethink their ingrained biases.
