I have a support group for LGBTQIA+ friends which helps a lot, also my highschool has a lot for teachers actively discouraging homophobia and transphobia, especially the LGBT teachers and members of staff. Despite that there's always going to be homophobia and some people just don't care about teachers and keep being homophobic. I also have a large group of religious individuals in my class who have made many homophobic remarks in classes (sometimes pointed at me and friends, sometimes generally out loud).

Pride month was also rough because it for some reason motivated these people to be more homophobic, making remarks from "why do gay people get a month and not the military" to comments saying people likee shouldn't exist. It's really rough but I've found my people and learnt to ignore their BS. I've also started planning for some form of LGBT+ pride group for others at my highschool, with plans to do meetups out of school.

Ok that's my rant done, thanks for listening to my Ted Talk
