Best Way to Cure Homophobia


Last week I got a random IM from someone who asked me if I could suggest a way for him to cure his homophobia. What do you say to that?

My IM buddy should have asked funny lady Wanda Sykes. On 'Ellen' the other day, Wanda waxed poetic on the mysteries of exactly how Isaiah Washington will cure his homophobia at the inpatient treatment center
he says he's checking in to to save his job for psychological evaluation. "What's gay rehab?" Wanda asks. "... That sounds like traffic school. You should be able to do that online."

The person who wrote the random IM is already halfway there, in that he knows that his life would be better if his antiquated prejudices about sexuality would go away.

I would suggest PFLAG (Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).  Support groups sponsored by PFLAG have been successfully facilitating self-cures for homophobia for decades, and there are plenty of people there who will take the time to help you let it go.  http://www.pflag.org/
