Commentary: Coming Back as a Gay Man to Rural America
I grew up as a gay man in rural Wyoming, but I was scared to live as my authentic queer self in my politically conservative and socially homogeneous hometown and state. I came out fully only after I left.
My story seems to be similar to that of many queer rural Americans, who still face heightened heteronormativity, homophobia, and transphobia in their small towns and are told they should move to metro areas to find acceptance.
For the past several years, I lived in more liberal, urban areas as I pursued graduate school. More LGBTQIA+ friendly spaces, compared to rural areas, made me feel fancy I would always have to stay in cities to perceive comfortable being myself.

She doesn't owe you a platform for bigotry.katrecipe wrote:Yeah i was curious and typed the word *** and GAY in the srforum and i was banned until the conclude of this month I do not want to be part of a forum who tries to stop people from expressing themselves. So it's genuine and i came across an article with whoppie goldberg being against the word "gay" creature used in the wrong way. I am not a tinfoiler by any means but this is somewhat imposing against free speech?
Furthermore, if your free speech in public may reasonably cause violence, you can be secure
