YouTuber Karim Jovian ( Karim Jovian and Karim Jovian Plays) is an amazing and powerful voice for peace and understanding, calling social injustices out and fighting for tolerance – making a real difference.

But his perspective wasn’t always one of tolerance and acceptance – in fact, his heart was filled with hate and intolerance. He was totally homophobic, hating gay people. He had to go through some tough experiences, and grow from them, to learn about acceptance, and it has helped him become who he is today!

Hatred of homosexuality is something Karim is proud of and he’s learned a valuable lesson that all lives matter. We are all human beings, and homophobia, bigotry and prejudice can not only physically and mentally hurt other people, it an keep you from understanding humanity. life and even joy. You might not understand it or agree with it, but intolerance, hate and violence solve nothing.

While the negative feelings in his early life towards gay people still bother him, he thankful he had the opportunity to meet and understand people who helped him to see only love and respect for all people not matter their identity or preference.
