A recent occurrence has caused me to realize this about myself, though I think i i might have always had the issue; I'm homophobic. There's just something about homosexuality that never appealed to me, i've always felt that there was something wrong with it.
Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that it shouldn't exist (per se), in fact, i'm well aware that it's not my place to say that it's wrong, it just doesn't seem right to me personally. Whenever i hear about it, it just comes off as wrong to me. I only spoke out against it once or twice in my life and both times occurred when i was just finding out about it. So i have ignorance of something new to me as an excuse for that one. Since then, I don't think I've ever spoken out against same sex couples again, and have certainly never made any movements against it. But even so, my unease around it is still there, something the aforementioned recent occurrence reminded me of.
I honestly don't know how to deal with these feelings.
