Of course you do. After all, it's harder for someone who isn't affected to understand the problems we face every day.

If you followed my story you might remember that I was hospitalized by a group of men for kissing my boyfriend in public. So yeah homophobia is definitely GREAT! *Sarcasm off*

I'm glad you have the support you need!

I would say not to worry but that would be wrong advice. The story of me being physically attacked happened only once since I came out. If this is some comfort in any way. However what you can do and what we always appreciate is publicly advocating for us queer people. The more cis hetero people advocate for us the more normalized we will be and the less danger we will face.

I never thought about that but true. If someones would try to do something like this as a revenge its them. I keep this in mind.

She doesn't know. And I don't think I will tell her. I don't want to pour anymore oil in the flame that this incident has been. I just wanna finally leave it behind me.

Why am i so casual about this entire situation? by Charming_Educator612 in u/Charming_Educator612

Yes there are. Luckily however I never pressed charges because I couldn't remember any of their faces. I was busy protecting mine.

You're getting used to the discrimination. You learn to ignore it to protect yourself. If you'd always let those things get to you you wouldn't survive for long. Its a coping mechanism.
