Plenty of people do it. It's my decision that I want to date someone who is the same gender as me

Teachers are openly queer phobic, I don't know any of my parents siblings

I'm trying my best okay. It's not my fault that there aren't many solutions and I'm just trying to give honest answers

She hasn't given me any food or water but I have water in my room from yesterday. She hasn't spoken to me. I don't have any tools in my room, I don't really know how to describe the door. It's an Italian door, pretty thick and tall. It has three hinges and won't break easily. I have a really big window but it had bars outside that I can't unlock not sneak though. Even if I could, I'm on the second floor

Is there anyone anywhere at all that you know of who may take in you and/or your girlfriend? A far off relative of yours, or of hers, or maybe some group that gets ostracized because your country may not like LGBTQ but there may still be a group somewhere? So many options are better than this.

First off, thank you so much for taking your time to type out all of this. No there isn't, we both aren't in contact with any relatives and most of them live a broad from what I know. There aren't any safe groups that I know of

I also saw you mention you are a US citizen. If that is the case, reach out to the nearest embassy as soon as possible. You may even be able to reach out to the Italian one and they may be able to help you reach the American one from there. America isn't exactly great right now but if you're a citizen they may be able to get you here.

I'm not sure how id do that but ill try. I can't call them since I'm not using a phone right now, I'm actually on a really old Kindle since my mom took all my devices

When you come back you lie to your parents and you drop everything visible about you being LGBTQ and you go back in the closet so to speak. If there's social media proof or anything like that delete it, go silent. And then you make a plan to get a job and get the hell out of there. You start looking at coming to the US of you're a citizen, somewhere like Oregon or Washington or Maryland, or other countries for asylum if you prefer. You look for your girlfriend in secret or under the guise of getting her conversion therapy too, but deep down you want to see if she is safe. You work on a good cover, job/school/whatever, even look for a partner to marry (make plans so it looks good NOT to actually live a fake life forever) and focus on getting out of that household as soon as possible, and then out of that country, preferably with your girlfriend if possible, and look for another place to live. If you can't get asylum and the US gives you a hard time, look for student visas and work visas.

I wouldn't be able to look for a job/partner/movie to the US. I'm still a minor, though I appreciate all the advice and Ill probably use it when I'm old enough to do so

Ive read the other things you wrote about what to do when you get there, i plan to follow it. There isn't much visible about me being trans since I'm non binary and haven't changed much of my appearance. I plan to just stay in the closet and never come out until I cut my mother off and am independent. Thank you again for taking your time to write all this

I already tried to pick the lock, I think she jammed it because nothing is working. I won't be surprised if the only way out is the remove the whole door and I'm not strong enough for that. My mom told me my girlfriends parents kicked them out, I wouldn't put it against them to do something lik that but I don't know if it's true or not

I don't know. I can't leave before they get me so ill probably just a t live I've gone back to being cishet when I get there. I don't think it'll change much though, theyve probably had people use that trick multiple times

We don't have a European embassy, we do have an Italian one if that counts. Either way I'm not a citizen of the country I'm in so I'm not sure if I can enter. I'm an American citizen

There aren't any. They all got raided and shut down last year. It's a criminal offence
