My struggle with homophobia while being homosexual, Anonymous (17)

Ever since I was a young kid I have had this innate hatred for gay people, but it's not what you think. I've known for a while that I might be gay, but if there was one thing I knew for sure is that I would hate to be gay. I hate everything about gay people from the way they dress, to the way they talk. But I do the same thing. I use the word "fag" and "faggot" almost 10 times a day, but I hate to be called it. I enjoy going to the Castro to make fun of all of the LGBTs, but on the way home, I listen to rex orange county and cry. I hate gay people, but I hate hating gay people more. Does anyone else feel this way? I just want to be loved and love. Can anyone offer some advice on how to stop my extreme and intense homophobic tendencies? #LGBTQBABCDA

Whether it be because of societal standards or parents (etc), something you could do to overcome this is to fully come to terms with yourself and who you are. If you learn to love yourself first and foremost, I hope that it will extend to the entire LGBTQ+ community. You also list things you do that are homophobic, but consider refraining yourself from doing them as you will cease to end this cycle.…
