Most of us have internalised bigotry in some capacity. It’s an effort to unlearn and do and be better, but it’s worth it. The only issue is when people *refuse* to learn and grow.

people like that are so annoying. not everyone grows up in an accepting family. people are also less willing to grow & change if they know they’ll never be forgiven for their past.

Some of us were lucky enough to finally be the generation in our family that broke the wheel of abuse/hate/ignorance/bigotry etc. Like for example came from a long line of anxious women who gave over their entire lives to cult like churches. Conservative Christian Republican family. Was born into it and spent my whole 18 years of childhood under the brainwashing of my family and that cult. I didn’t even know I was mixed race until I was 13 when I met my dad and became a victim of csa. (Pt1)

My poor bf had to go through it with his family after I transitioned. Craziest part is that his dad, who was the one who hated that he was gay the most, admitted to being DL a few months ago.

(Pt2) I was 19 when I married another controlling Christian person. I was so sheltered and went right to listening to my spouse’s opinions which were also Christian conservative republican. I remember Colin Kapernick challenged my views first. Then George Floyd. Then Eugene Lee Yang. Then I was no long Christian. No longer Conservative. No longer Republican. I came out as bisexual. I opened my world view more and more as the years went and I became educated. Change happens if we allow it.
