If you are making a conscious decision to stop being homophobic, then you may have already noticed some feelings or actions that trouble you or others. Write down your feelings or what actions trigger certain feelings of homophobia. For example:  I feel uncomfortable and angry when I see a same-sex couple kissing. I think it is wrong that my sister likes other women. I feel it is unnatural for two men to like each other. Once you have written down the specific feelings that make have homophobic feelings, it is time to analyze why you feel this way. This is a needed step to start making changes. Try and ask yourself:  ”Why do I feel angry in [x] situation? Who or what has influenced this emotion? Is there a reason why I feel this way?” ”Do I think it is reasonable to feel this way? What steps can I take to not feel this way?” ”Can I talk to someone about these feelings to identify why I feel this way?” Often, our beliefs come from our parents or our mentors. When you are reflecting on your feelings, consider where you homophobia originated. Ask yourself:  ”Do my parents feel homophobic and their views have influenced mine?” ”Is there someone in my life that influence these negative feelings?” ”Has my education/religion/research made me feel this way? Why?”
