Start by dropping the homophobic slurs. You should be the image of Christ to the world, not a slanderer of others. Drop your old ways and habits.
As for reading, start with Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.
Ayden Baker
Take the logos in your hand and eat it, it will kill you, as the Joanna Newsom song teaches us :)
Jacob Wood
Just watch Star Wars but only the original trilogy theatrical release.
Lincoln Clark
The forced is strong in this meme
Matthew Foster
It is time to take the bread pill user.
Christopher Collins

Read Mere Christianity. Read some G.K. Chesterton next (I really liked The Everlasting Man). Watch videos that interest you from Bishop Robert Barron's YouTube channel. Read a few parts of the Summa Theologica that interest you. Read Confessions by Augustine.
When reading the Bible I would recommend reading some of the New Testament to get the gist of it. Then go back and read the Old Testament. Whenever you run into something that seems morally reprehensible or something you don't quite get, look up what Christians on the internet have to say about it. Then read through the New Testament.
Once you understand the storyline of the Old Testament and New Testament read City of God by Augustine.
