Peer Pressure / Social Influence	- xompeii My best friend threw a book at my head and told me to form my own opinions instead of absorbing my parents -	1
	JaysynnerI was moving into a rental house with my girlfriend and another couple in a trendy neighborhood in my city. I was discussing the move with my conservative stepdad and he says something, like "Why are you moving there? Isn't that a gay neighborhood?" Without missing a beat, I replied "What are they going to do? Break in and redecorate?". In the moment I realized that I really didn't have a reason not to like being around the LGBT Community. It's not like they would try to convert me... That's more of a religious and conservative attitude. The house was amazing. The couple that I moved in with got married and I found my wife because of the move. No gays broke in to redecorate, though. That was disappointing.
Logical Argument	WunDumGuy 8y ago I used to be like "it's wrong because it's not natural! If it was natural you'd be able to procreate!" Then a co-worker was like "well my wife and I choose not to procreate does that make us unnatural?" And I'm like "no you're good" and he said "what about infertile people who can't have children, are they unnatural?" And I'm like "well they didn't choose to be infertile" and he said "well what makes you think gays would choose to be gay if it's so much harder to live like that?" And I went 🤔 and now my wife and I are infertile as hell	1

I eventually met many nice and normal homosexual people since then.
