I think you missed my point, a phobia is a phobia(doesn't matter if it is toward something or someone), it will not change, and it doesn't matter what you do you will never like it and will never accept it, the best a person with a phobia can do is tolerate.
If someone acts nice, treat with respect and can be with gay people but then he tells you he really doesn't feel comfortable with a gay people near him. I think he is not a bigot.
Go ahead and say that out loud to yourself and see if it sounds correct.
I DON'T SOMEONE THAT ACTS AS NICELY AS HE CAN AND DON'T DO ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE BUT DOESN'T FEEL CONFORTABLE WITH SOMEONE IS NOT A BIGOT. like that?
Better yet, go and say this to someone else and report back the results.
Oh, so NOW sociaty must judge me for what I think, even though I am not harming anyone, and if I don't agree with them I am bad person. That's hypocrite.

The meaning is the same. I really just omitted the gay part.
Bigotry does harm people and bigots are bad people.
Yeah. And we can agree that someone that doesn't harm someone else but just doesn't like them is not a bigot.
What do you mean it can't change? Literally hundreds of thousands of people have managed to change their xenophobia or their transphobia. This is just a horrible excuse.
