Internalized homophobia

[w00ki33]

I've been pretty hard on myself lately, and one thing that has been bothered me is my own homophobia. When I was younger, I used to say and even write things that looking back now I'm ashamed of. I know that it's not the "real me", but I feel awful about it and I am worried what someone would think of me as I was back then.

Has anyone had similar experiences? How do you forgive yourself?

Well it's good to hear that your finally down on your knee's willing to take your punishment.;)

RELAX! I'm sure we ALL have regrets. Not all of us were born waving a LGBT flag and jumping to the aid of all non heterosexual brothers and sisters.
No! Some of us were born Humans, and prone to being complete twats at times.:bigrin:

But isn't it good enough that we can look back and recognise what a twat we were?

Give yourself a big hug, fella. :)

Totally in agreement with the previous posters. Most of us have had to process our way through it in some fashion.
Go forth and commit that particular 'sin' no more.:) Now you know better... forgive yourself and move on.
