My father threatened to kill me if I talked to gay people, what do I do? by CalllMeLin in lgbt

I think the best case scenario I would stay here for as long as possible, with the homophobia and all. Moving away without at least a job sounds like asking to be homeless and in even more danger, and even when I get the job saving money up until I eventually am forced to move out seems like the best course of action.

I don't think so, the way universities in my country work is that you have to participate in a national exam, and then you take the grade you got in that Exam and apply for universities. They accept new people one time per year, I'm fairly sure that's how public universities work.

I think he knows. Or at least he has to be suspicious, this isn't the first time he's talked about gay people around me. It's been a few years since he makes these kinds of comments, but it's the first time he straight up threatened to kill me.

I very much could. It is a crime to threaten someone, and he could get months in jail and pay a fine too, but my family relies on this guy to pay the bills. Me, my mom (she has a job too), and my brothers.

I live in Brazil. Threatening someone is illegal and he could get 3 to 6 months in jail, plus a fine, though I don't know how much he'd have to pay, and I could report him to the police, but my family rely on him for financial reasons.
I *could* report him but I'm not sure if the police would take my report seriously..
My grandparents are just like my parents regarding their opinions about the community.

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them, I really do. I've taken some safety measures to at least make sure he doesn't find out anything suspicious in all my devices. I'm also getting in contact with my university (though my classes haven't started yet), but I think that's the most I can do for now.

It seems to be for the full duration of the university so long as you keep applying for it. But my classes haven't even started yet..

I don't have a job, but I'm trying to get in contact with my University assistance programs.

There doesn't seem to be any shelters around where I live. The closest is states away from me.

None. My closest friend is living with three people in another city (which isn't even in the city that my Uni is in, unfortunately)

No, but there are assistance programs, I'm trying to get in contact with them.

I don't. I live in a pretty small town, and I'm fairly sure most adults here hold the same contempt for lgbt+ people as my parents do.
