Maybe like 100 years ago and in a major religious community. It’s 2021. Noone worth your time is gonna judge you for being lgbt now.
Maybe like 60 years ago. Now its just based off your your character and personality.
In my Catholic group (When I was still Catholic) there were plenty of minorities that were welcome and took part in activities and were respected just as much as everyone else was. Sounds like you grew up in a very toxic and dangerous environment.
It really isnt. Have you even read a discrimination law. In this time and age, we judge you by your character not by your gender, sexual orientation, age, race, ect. Get with the times.
People from every part of the world have their share of struggle, challenges, and pain they had to go through. It just depends on how you are raised and where you lived. Courage is found in many ways and forms. Courage is doing what you choose to do despite your fears going against you. We all have a moment in our lives that we must push ourselves despite the odds or the risks taken to achieve something not many have. My life wasn’t glamorous but it wasn’t as difficult than others either. Same goes for you. You shouldn’t be talking for other’s when you only have your own burdens, only you can fully understand and noone else does.
