The fear of homosexuality can arise in individuals and groups and lead to hostile situations. Fortunately, you have the right to choose not to fear homosexuality. It can take a while for you to change your view of the world, and it takes a lot of work. However, you will learn how to be free to build a happier and safer world.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Think about your beliefs

1. 

   Write about your feelings. If you are making a conscious decision to stop being scared of homosexuality, you may have noticed some emotions or actions that bother you as well as others. Record any emotions or actions that trigger a sense of homosexuality in you. For example:
   • I feel annoyed and angry when I see a same-sex couple kissing.
   • I think it is wrong for my sister to like other women.
   • I feel it's unusual for two men to like each other.

2. 

   
   
   Study your feelings. After you've written down all of the specific emotions that trigger your homosexual fear, now's the time to analyze why you feel that way. This is a necessary step to start making changes. Try asking yourself:
   • "Why do I feel angry in the situation? Who or what influenced this feeling? Is there any specific reason why I feel that way? ”
   • “Do I think that feeling is reasonable? What steps do I need to take to stop feeling like that? "
   • "Can I talk to anyone about these feelings to determine why I feel that way?"

3. 

   
   
   Determine your beliefs. Usually, our beliefs come from our parents or counselors. As you reflect on your feelings, consider the source of your fear of homosexuality. Ask myself:
   • "Are my parents afraid of homosexuality and do their views affect me?"
   • "Is there someone in my life that makes me feel so negative?"
   • "Did my studies / religion / research make me feel that way? Why?"

Method 2 of 4: Consider your routine

1. 

   
   
   Make a list of your bad habits. Once you become aware of your feelings and the causes of those emotions, make a list of the specific bad habits you want to change. This will make you ashamed of past actions, but being honest with yourself is always the best thing you can do to keep moving. Try to include possible consequences as well. Be as specific as possible:
   • "I have a habit of using the word‘ gay ’(Vietnamese meaning‘ gay ’) to describe everything around. I think that habit will offend homosexuals. "
   • "I made fun of him in high school and called him gay.That must have hurt his feelings. ”
   • "I treated my sister badly when she admitted to her family that she was gay. I ruined an important relationship in life because of my hatred. ”

2. 

   List the things you most specifically want to change. Once you've identified your bad habits and negative feelings, now is the time to consider the positive ones. Make a list of the goals you want to achieve. For example:
   • "I want to stop using the word‘ gay. '
   • "I want to ask forgiveness from people I teased to forgive me."
   • "I want to resume my relationship with my sister and ask her forgiveness."

3. 

   Hieu that you need time to change. Realize that it takes time to change bad habits into good habits. Experts say it will take about a month to create a new habit. You can make mistakes. You might go back to some bad manners in the past. The good tip is to keep going and keep going. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Taking action to change

1. 

   Speak out against the fear of homosexuality. You may have heard other people say or you have even said "really gay!" This statement shows a lack of sensitivity and hurts the LGBT community (community of homosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals) because of its insults. When you hear anyone say that, try responding like this to prevent them from continuing:
   • "Do you know what that means?"
   • "Why do you say that?"
   • "Don't you think my words will hurt others?"

2. 

   Reaction to assertions expresses a fear of homosexuality. Unfortunately, detractors expressing a fear of homosexuality are well documented everywhere, especially in the classroom and in the school district in general. When you hear a homosexual detract or detective, make sure you react with an appropriate attitude and respect for the other person. When you hear negative things like "homosexuals are against God's plan" or "all homosexuals are child molesters," apply some of the following techniques to successfully deal with those words:
   • Treat your mind. When you let emotions mix in your voice, it's easy for other people to take you lightly. Present facts in a calm manner to increase the likelihood of others listening to your message.
   • Explain why what they say is offensive. Sometimes people talk without realizing that their words have meaning. When he or she explains why a person's words are offensive, he or she may recognize a mistake.
   • Assert that there is nothing wrong with when a person is gay or lesbian. That positive attitude shows that you support the people of this community.

3. 

   Stand up for the others. Bullying is a serious problem. If you see / hear hate speeches, statements, or actions that you hate someone (gay or heterosexual!) Protect the person with messages of support. Be confident and say things like:
   • "I really don't like what you're talking about; Your actions will cause serious damage! "
   • "Why do you say that or do that? How would you feel if other people acted the same way to you? "
   • "I think we can't be friends if you keep saying that."

4. 

   Learn from past injustices. 76 countries around the world have now enacted laws that mistreat gay or lesbian couples. History has shown many acts of discrimination and hatred towards the LGBT community. Take the time to explore those injustices to get a clearer picture of the challenges this community faces.
   • Most times in history have recorded homosexuality. For example, during World War II, the Nazis locked gay people in concentration camps. Learning these facts will help you to get a better understanding of homophobia and learn to be more tolerant.
   • You can learn about the history in a variety of ways such as documentaries, podcasts, textbooks, and the Internet.

Method 4 of 4: Expand your limits

1. 

   Chat with a gay person. When you feel comfortable with your emotions, it's time for you to push yourself to change. Try chatting and having a conversation with a gay person. Be kind to them and be respectful, don't ask questions that provoke their sexual orientation.
   • Have a casual conversation and keep yourself open to the person you are talking with.
   • Try neutral polite questions like: "Can you tell me about your work?" or "What kind of movie do you like to watch?" or "Which restaurant do you like best?"

2. 

   Go to a meeting to support the LGBTQ community (community of homosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, and different). It's hard to put yourself in the shoes of others and understand how they have been mistreated.
   • To broaden your understanding, try going to meetings, conventions, seminars or lectures that advocate for gay / lesbian rights. Again, respect for others is important, regardless of your personal opinion.
   • To find a venue for such meetings, read the leaflet at the neighborhood university. In general, universities have more diverse communities and often hold meetings / lectures / seminars.

3. 

   Motivate yourself to make friends. Once you've broadened your understanding and practiced good habits, try making gay friends. Chat with people who share your interests and interests, and be yourself!
   • Making friends with a gay person is similar to making friends with a gay person. Find someone who shares similar interests with you and let the friendship develop naturally.
