homophobia?!

It is kind of a choice to be homophobic, so if you cast a spell to make them not homophobic, you are kind of not respecting their decision( free will and everything), so it will be a bit hard. I wouldn't do it, but it's your choice! I think all you have to do is wait and try to be as nice as possible to them, and not blame the parents. It's just the way they were raised.And you are not the one to talk to them, but your boyfriend should, as they are his parents.

Just hitting on this one point, essentially, "We must be tolerant of intolerance" because we're either tolerant or not tolerant and that can be twisted into a paradox.

Nope!

"My rights end where yours begin." One person's right to enjoy life on this planet and another person wishing them away from this planet is not an equal matter of opinion. The former does no harm to the person in the latter, whereas the latter does harm to the one in the former. Jakob was not forcing his boyfriend's parents to also be gay, but his boyfriend's parents were pressuring their son and his boyfriend to be heterosexual. To change their minds through magic isn't a violation of free will, it's a defense of boundaries. It's checking of personal boundaries.

Heterosexism and heteronormativity is a privilege that grants inequal power to heterosexuals that permeates everyday life. Should magic be used to get straight people to check their privilege? I vote yes. Whether it can work is another matter.

Tip: be careful with this kind of thing. You don't want to mess with their free will; otherwise, if you do, it's not real. You can try being confident and calm. You can do a cleansing before talking to them to help rid yourself of negative energies. You could try a spell that could help them to listen to you.
