Not always true, I'm white, cis, and straight born to conservative Christian parents but fell out of that line of thinking by my teenage years. A lot of it really was just learning and understanding history and politics. Making friends with black kids early on might have helped as well.

As long as you are intelligent you likely would have figured it out on your own.

I know I was figuring it out myself even before I had any idea I was queer. This was back in 2018 or 19 when the big outrage was Ukraine aid being held hostage. It took until the second term for me to no longer be civil with anybody who did support Trump. Figuring out that I was queer just put another nail in the coffin that was already sealed shut
