I'm straight, so I don't know if that's a factor of my father's constant belittlement of homosexuals, but I'm far more open to homosexuals than he ever thought was possible. So parents telling their children that homosexuality is evil does not immediately make the child hate homosexuals as well once they are older and more mature.
