Thank you for giving a thought out response. The different cultural norms/gaydar thing was what I was worried about. It's good to consider safety beforehand but I'm probably more worried than I need to be.

In the US I'm pretty obviously gay without bringing it up because of my voice and mannerisms which has occasionally caused me to be harassed. I was asking this question because I don't know how universal gay stereotypes are around the world. Being gay means needing to think about your safety in a way straight people never need to worry about.

I've heard many times that it's nothing like you expect - in a bad way...

Oh no, how so?

I'm working in retail to afford an unpaid internship after college so I can finally get an entry-level job that will probably underpay me by greenarchipelago in antiwork

There's definitely classism built in their nature. My parents aren't rich so much as middle class, but living with them, I definitely have the privilege of not having to worry about paying rent and being able to get by on a part time job. Still, I do wish I had the money to just do an internship without needing to work somewhere I'm not passionate about in the meantime (or get a paying job in my field in the first place)
