I would say that when I was growing up, a lot of people were ignorant. 'Gay' was a normal insult, we had no explanation of what it meant to be homosexual or why it wasn't a bad thing, and it certainly wasn't covered in sex ed. Slash was a 'weird internet thing', and with no context but the one perpetuated from idiotic teen to idiotic teen, it's no wonder you end up confused.
I think there's a lot more attention and positive focus put on it than there was seven-eight years ago (AHHHH), and with information getting out there and great gay role models in media and ADULTS getting in there and cutting off that flow of misinformation, less people are going to be in a position like mine - misinformed and homophobic because of it. I hope that's the case, because we NEED people to be more attentive to queer issues, and keep pushing to create a more accepting community/culture/future!
Critical thinking goes a long way, but it's more effective if people are given the chance to do so in the first place.
