It's like, okay.

Like it was so normal to me that it wasn't until I moved to Florida that I even realized that people were homophobic.

And that was when I was 11.

Like I had no idea that people had a problem with gay people.

Yeah.

No, they were just normal guys who just happened to be gay.

And they were everywhere, too.

So it's like it became normal because you just saw them everywhere.
