It's a little bit different when it's outside the family, though. Inside the family, a homophobic parent might feel emasculated, or like a failure, if their kid turns out to be gay. But when meeting an adult gay couple at a social function, or working with a gay colleague, the same person will probably at least remain cordial, if not explicitly supportive.

don't search for "angry public" on youtube, it may change your perception of the world.

99% of my problems in the world are related to the random public, not my family.

I mean, you're basically self-manufacturing bias and then claiming the bias reflects reality.

If you search for "red heads" on YouTube you'll end up thinking everyone is a ginger.
