15. Well, being "freaked out" by affection between 2 people of the same gender
does not sound like a ringing endorsement of gay people. I am sure you are not anti-gay, but why should it freak you out that two people exchange affection? I too grew up in a very white, conservative community as well, but the affection two people show one another is of little interest to me.

It sounds like you are making an effort to understand what comes naturally to gay people. Try to concentrate on these: 1) The love two gay people share is really not different from that two straight people share. 2) the disgust Americans have for homosexuality is an arbitrary moral stance.
