Is it normal that i was homophobic, only to find out that i am gay?

I am 16 and I was very hateful towards the gay community when I was 10-12. I had all the makings of an ignorant hateful homophobe. And when I was 13 I began thinking about myself and at 14 I came out of the closet.

Was this normal? Haha

    One of the Most infamous homophones went on a sex romp of Europe with his gay lover. You're normal.

    Totally normal :) .
    I think it's great that you came out at such a young age, too. My buddy didn't until he was in his 20's.

    I am a gay guy of 26 and I never had to come out to family or friends. I am really macho and there is no way they could have guessed that I was gay, but my family are very polite and we never spoke about such things.
    Once, I took a boyfriend home for a vacation and my parents just accepted him as one of the family and we had a great time.

    Good to see more bi-sexual guys here. Personally I've always hated the term, but it does describe me and I'm thinking that it's becoming more acceptable like females who are bisexual.

    As to the original post-I think I used to be homophobic when I was young, but I wasn't a major hater like the hardcore homophobes. I was just ignorant about gays when I was a kid. Then when I grew up I realized I was attracted to men too.

    It's unfortunate that most people are very close-minded. I was there too so I know how it is. If only humans were better at imagining being in someone else's shoes, then we'd all get along a lot better.

    Its actually pretty normal
    Most in the closet people, seem to make fun/aggresively disagree with homosexuals even more than a normal person in order to draw attention away from thier gay self
    Who would suspect the guy who hates gay people to be gay?
    Thats the point.

    I was the same way and I chalk it up to childhood brainwashing.
    I was homophobic because I was taught to be homophobic. Period end of discussion. It took falling madly in love with a female friend to realize how drastically wrong my past impressions had been.

    Pretty normal. Often part of the denial process. You're still young and changing. Hell, next year you may be a Republican.

    This is totally normal. I always disdained the gay lifestyle -- still do to a certain extent. But it was a gay guy who allowed me to suck his dick and give me my first blowjob. I'm thankful for that, and I love being bi-sexual and having sex with other guys.

    I think it's normal I think when you were younger you were afraid of what you were and hatred is an easy way to express those feelings of confusion

    I'm bisexual and I used to hint people all the time I go to gay bars and touch a mans bulge in his trousers and then how they react is up to them.sometimes it would be get away you dirty bastard sometimes I get dragged to the toilets and a man will whip his cock out and I bend straight over I love it. One time I went to a gay bar and I. Managed to meet a guy who wanted it so I sucked him off and after he finished his load on my face another man walked in cubicle with his nob out and demanded a blowjob while my face was drenched in cum so I gave him 1 and he had a large cock it couldn't all fit in my mouth so he forced it down and within minites he relesed his load in my mouth m
