    I don't think I would be an ally but I certainly wouldn't spread hate towards the LGBT. I would probably remain neutral on most issues, although I consider myself to be quite open-minded so I wouldn't oppose marriage equality or any other expansion of rights.

    I don't know to be honest. Don't think I would've had problems with gay or lesbian people because I had relatives and family friends who were. May have had an issue with trans people because I didn't have a lot of exposure but I've never been a hateful person. I think if I'd had a friend or I'd done some reading I'd be pretty well set.

    I was raised in a very religious home so was taught homophobia. Self-loathing has been a problem most of my lfe. Thankfully, homophobia is something you can unlearn if you have an open mind. I was in the love the sinner hate the sin crowd. I would still be like that if I wasn't gay.
     
  5. My peers in school are very accepting, even to the point where straight guys openly show affection towards each other. So, I don't think I'd be homophobic at all.

    I can't say for sure -- how could I? --, but I honestly believe I would be a somewhat vocal ally and not at all homophobic.

    I know I've never not been bi, but before I consciously knew I was into women, I was fine with LGBT+ people. I had gay/bi friends, including my best friend. I admired my gay aunt, loved her girlfriends, and hated it when my mother badmouthed them. I followed Lori Duron's blog about raising her gender non-conforming son. I found Jazz Jennings amazing and inspiring. When a childhood friend came out to me as trans, I hardly batted an eyelid. Every time same-sex marriage became legal somewhere, I felt like celebrating.

    And yeah, maybe that was because, subconsciously, I knew they were family. But I like to think that I wouldn't have been LGBTphobic, even if I were cis and straight.

    It's hard to say for sure how I would react to the LGBT community if I wasn't gay because I don't know what's that's like.. But if I had to guess, I'm sure I'd be fine with it. I lean very left politically so I'd be for human rights and equality.

    I would totally be friends with gays if I wasn't with out a doubt.

    I wasn't brought up to be a religious zealot, so hopefully not homophobic at all.

    I wouldn't be at all, I never had a problem with the idea of LGBTQ people or the people themselves even before I figured out I wasn't as straight (and seemingly now, cis) as I once thought was.

    My family isnt religious at all and they are very open, which they were before I came out to them, so I think I would be similar. My straight brother played (and still does) for a gay football team before I came out so I know I wouldnt be homophobic if I wasnt gay.

    I'd probably think it was a little bit weird but that's because I wouldn't have been exposed to any LGBT people.

    Before last august or september, I thought I wasn't LGBTQ, and I wasn't very phobic (except maybe a bit about trans ppl), even when I was younger and brainwashed to believe LGBTQ was some illness, I just felt bad for them, then I found Glee and everything changed.

    I have never been phobic as a rule. Certain situations I found extremely awkward though when I was much younger but it was more about the individual than because of their sexuality. My best friend in school was gay. I suspected this before he knew and certainly before I was questioning my own sexuality.

    I wouldn't be homophobic, just because I know 2 people who are gay/lesbian and I consider them my friends, whether gay or straight.

    How could I be homophobic? ... some of my friends are gay. But even if they weren't I don't believe anybody deserves to be treated different due to their orientation, skin colour or whatever.
    Actually that's so natural for me that first I was not sure if I understood the question correctly.

    Considering how vocal I am on other rights movements that I'm not part of, I'd probably be as, if not more, for lgbtq rights. To be honest, the only thing I do not support is the emotional or physical harm of another conscious being.

    I think i'll be somewhat homophobic, but maybe not at all. depending on my knowledge in this imaginary scenario.
    Even though i was raised in a very homophobic family, deeply religious and all that sh:***:t, i keep my mind open to any idea that came. As long as it's not hurting anyone i think i'm cool with that :grin:

    I am very tolerant and respectful of other people's choices and beliefs. I have 2 gay cousins in which I am close to 1 of them therefor I wouldn't be LGBT phobic I believe. I practice tolerance and respect in other aspects. I personally don't believe in abortion but have never chastised a friend who had done it. I am Christian but my best friend is Muslim. Live and let live (*hug*)
