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.

My comfort level with drag queens has increased substantially over the years.
Getting topped by one really helped . . . .
(not in costume at the time, btw)
And at some point realizing quite a few of the leather boys are actually pretty much the same . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I used to believe in magical stereo cables...

I used to think I was God's gift to women. I now realize that I was just loaned out on approval.

Probably the death penalty for me too.
I used to be firmly for it, and following a discussion in this very forum, I am now leaning more towards being against it.
I also once believed I wanted to be single forever.

Just like Min, the military.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I used to dream big about moving to the states. I wanted it more than anything else.
Now I don't
Although I still want to visit New York and do a big tour of the Southwest.
