Yeah, I can vouch for that. Having never known a gay person until recently, I used to think they were all evil or something.
My brother used to be like, ugh gay is disgusting, but he has gone a complete 180, and now is an avid supporter of gay rights including gay marriage. Also, I forgot to mention that the closer the relationship is with the gay person the more likely they will support gay rights. With that being said, there are some lousy parents who will kick their children out of their homes and lives, but I think most, like your parents, will always love their kids and will learn to overlook sexuality overtime, and become better and more accepting people.

You don't know who he is? Oh, you are 13, then you probably have never heard of Fast and the Furious(unless they made a bunch of sequals) or Joy Ride; they were both out in theatres a little over 10 years ago. He isn't quite as popular nowadays, but his hotness remains intact!
Well, I wouldn't want you to miss out, so here is a picture of Paul Walker:
But anyways, he looks like Paul Walker and John Krasinski (from "the Office") combine. So he's kind of sexy and adorable rolled into one. But I want to stress that I am much more picky about a person's morals, ambitions, personality/temperament, and intentions than I am about appearance. Appearance-wise, the only "requirement" is attractive, lol; it's all by my own subjectivity.
@ everyone, lol
That is why I dislike the questions, "would you rather date someone attractive or with a good personality?" both are needed.
Dating someone who possesses a "non-negotiable" quality, is the number one reason why relationships do not pan-out. A lot of people have done this, including myself. If you do this persistently you may become a serial-monogamist! Being in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship does not equal love, although I would say going over-board on standards could really limit your ability to find a great person-you really have to figure out what things are most important. ( I think I have been watching too much "Tough Love" and "Millionaire Matchmaker".)
So it brings me to this question:
What are your 5 most important non-negotiables when it comes to dating? (You absolutely cannot date anyone with these qualities) Also, avoid being vague, like saying, "must be nice".
Here are mine (in no particular order):
1) Must not have substance abuse problems
2) Must want a long-term monogamous relationship.
3) Must have a decent job, a degree(looking for a job), or attending college.
4) Must be at least average in masculinity.
5) Must not be overweight or obese...unless it is because of muscle mass, ;).
That concludes my HUGE post!
