parents, were any of you not understanding/unaccepting of a certain group (ex: lgbt, neurodivergent) but became more accepting once you found out your kid was part of it?

husband and i are both autistic, so we were always very accepting of others. we’re also both bisexual, my husband being almost exclusively gay except for when it comes to me.
when we found out our 15-year-old leo was gay, we were very happy for him and we told him that he was still our leo we loved.

Not quite. I grew up with a lot of racism that took time to undo and is still ongoing.
But that didn't impact my kiddo directly as they're not targetted by racism.
However, I found out that I'm adhd due to my kid being diagnosed, and I was out as queer before them. So we have intersections in common that we've both been working through at the same time.
