For some heterosexual people, interacting with an LGBT+ person can be intimidating. If you are an ally of the LGBT+ community, you may be concerned about behaving in a way that supports that attitude. If you struggle to accept gay people, you may realize that you will interact with gay men and lesbians on one occasion or another, and not be sure how to do so without bringing up your own beliefs. Regardless of your views, the most important thing you can do is to treat them as you would any other human being—with respect and kindness.
