Your community is an outdated bunch of bitches, then. This is the 21st century! I can't believe there are people who still have their heads in the sand about where majority stands on LGBT issues (if you don't know, majority support LGBT rights!)

Find a support group from a gay community online or through a meetup or social events- and find people who accept you for you!

This world is vast. Don't limit yourself to your fish bowl of a community. You love who you love, there is no shame in that. Stay and find those people who will accept you for you.

I think a lot of people who come out of the closet probably felt some sort of struggle and backlash for being who they are, so they will completely understand what you're going through. Find those people-because those are the type of people you should be around-people who understand you, accept you, and do not make you feel bad about who you are.

I'm not gay, but I support the right that humans should have- to love who they love. You keep being you no matter what people say.
