I actually used to be "pro-life", one of the most pathetic and stupid stances I ever had and I don't know how I got there. I don't deny that I used to feel that way, we all have our stupid moments, but damn I renounce those views so hard today.
I feel like saying "I was homophobic" is an easy one. Most teenagers are, it's the way they're socialised. It fucking sucks, but it's a phase I think most people grow out of, thankfully.
My opinion on drag queens. I used to really not understand drag whatsoever, it creeped me out and I felt uncomfortable just seeing it. Then my friend got me into Rupaul's Drag Race, and within weeks I went from hating drag queens to regurgitating their entire slang dictionary in everyday speech.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
