When I was in high school during the 80s, during the height of the AIDS scare, when homophobia seemed to be peaking, I had a number of friends who were gay. Some in the closet except to their closest friends, some out of the closet. So I was able to relate to them as people rather than as a concept.
So my mother when she found my Playboy collection:
"I guess that's normal for a boy your age. I'd be more concerned if you were looking at naked men."
Or when I supported Svend Robinson for NDP leadership:
"How can you support someone who doesn't give a damn about women?"
Or commenting on the lesbians at work:
"They seem like nice people, but how they think what they are doing is normal is beyond me."
But I paid to take her to see Philadelphia and we talked a lot about it after the movie and about acceptance vs tolerance and how people are born wired a certain way and she started to shift her beliefs.
So when my cousin came out it was no big deal. That Christmas we invited my cousin over with the rest of the family and he said that he actually fully expected to be shunned by the rest of the family. My mother's reply was that I had "brought her up right".
Along with a number of environmental pins and human rights pins that I had in my university backpack, the one I liked the best was my rainbow "I'm straight, but not narrow" pin.
So I think I can firmly put myself in the first group. However, looking at the poll, I must remember the 80s very differently than they actually were because I remember my views being much less popular than they would be today.
