So that’s what they’re afraid of

People have this absurd fear that fraternizing with different kinds of people will radically transform them in every way.
If you think that, allow me to reassure you: I’ve been friends with and talking to gay and trans people for decades now, and I’m still heterosexual. I’ve just become a liberal, socialist-leaning, humanist-atheist who always votes for the political party with the more tolerant, progressive policies. Nothing to be afraid of there.
