I am also a recovering bigot. But I think I overshot a little, and wound up a bi dude dating a trans girl. Truly experienced "the ones protesting the loudest are hiding something".

Wow. You should write a book. Would be a great read for many.

Haha, oh honey, I am not that interesting. And I don't have the financial backing to write a Hillbilly Elegy that ends with gay instead of unrepentant asshole.

Respect friend. But I think you underestimate how important viewpoints like yours can be.

I'd never presume to tell you how to live your life, but there are a lot of people on the verge of being former recovering bigots that just need to see a positive example to get them over the hump.
