My ex didn't used to like gay men. He thought they were creepy and wrong. Then he started working in a music venue where 2 of the male staff were gay (but not a couple). One day, one of them (VERY good looking) looked my ex straight in the eye, and said, "its a real shame you're straight, as I really have a crush on you". When he came home and told me the story, I thought the ending would be, gay guy being rushed to A&E. Nope. Ending is, ex no longer has any problem with gays at all. Turns out it was a combination of fear of the unknown (he'd never really talked to any gay guys before that) and his childhood as a JW. Even bigots can change, Sparky, love, there is still hope in the world. *hugs*
