I was raised in a fairly strong conservative setting, went to church more than once a week and such. And BIG conservative politically my old man has been a fox news republican as long as i've known what that is.

LGBTQ issues were never a thing in my childhood. To the extent that I didn't know gay people were a thing that actually existed. Not that I was indoctrinated against them, that never happened. Straight up, I was not aware of it.

Following the typical path of accepting your parents politics I was a standard conservative republican as a kid, and that means something because I took an active intrest in politics and the news even when i was young. But adolescent creeped in I became quite libertarian (vaguely am to this day), mostly because the at the time popular catch phrase "I want gay couples to be able to defend there weed crop with guns". It was just an expression of freedom extremism, so I thought. Ignore any thoughts I had in very private situations.

After going to college I talked about philosophical and political issues with demographics I wasn't just simply unfamiliar with, ones I just never ever interacted with at all. Libertarianism still felt the most fitting, not being against capitalism and all, but this period really deeply made me reflect on who i was and assumptions I held. It was the first time that I felt like it wouldn't be morally wrong to abandon the traditions I was raised in and live life as I want to. That it was not wrong to be who I wanted regardless of where I came from.

Anyways Dear Diary: like 2 years after that I thought a coworker was mad cute and decided (yeah) I was gay. Fucking never was serious about chasing a girl but being into guys was so much comfortable I couldn't look back.

So ...

TLDR: No. If I was straight I would have been a homophobic chud. Easy.
