I am a homophobe
Why are you afraid of gay people?
My dad told me gay people are criminals and I got afraid that I might become one
There is no reason to be afraid of gay people. They are people just like you who have wants and desires and goals.
Yeah but my dad was totally right and accepted me once he found out I'm not gay after all.
Your father was not right about what he told you. All people are created equal regardless of sexual orientation, and should be treated and thought of as such.
