Julia,
I'm in my 30's. Raised in the U.S. In a diverse, middle income family by loving JW parents that wanted children.
While we were raised without any racism, I distinctly remember when the TV show "Will and Grace" came on. It was so funny, but my dad would make snide comments about how disgusting it was (gay men in lead role). It was easier to just not watch the show if he was around. Through the years I was never disgusted or disturbed by gay/lesbian etc. people. I chose not to dwell on the actual acts they would engage in together, as that part didn't sound pleasant or enjoyable. I think I decided a few years back, not to be offended or stumbled by other people choices. (I wasn't a typical JW). The US presidential election seemed to revolve around gay and abortion rights. While I was still an active JW, I simply couldn't understand why so many people were in such an uproar abouat two issues, that at the end of the day, don't affect their personal lives. It was so frustrating to be around judgemental, close-minded Christians, at that time (JW's and workmates).
Maybe if you watch a little comedy TV or movies featuring homosexuals, it will help you get back to the person you were before, as you see you can relate to them on some level.
I'm pretty sure my dad still thinks "Will and Grace" started the downfall of my generation. Lol.
