[QUOTE="lupusFati, post: 68913053, member: 329275"] Note I'm not sure if I would be beaten, by the way. I do live in Idaho so it's a constant worry in my mind, however, even if Boise is somewhat more progressive than the rest of the state. Maybe the only two places I might feel somewhat safe would be on campus where I go to school, and maybe the bar I sometimes go to, as it's "gay friendly". Any other place just fills me with dread over the idea. I shouldn't have to be afraid to hit on a guy (even if he's straight) or otherwise socialize. I shouldn't have to be afraid that holding another guy's hand will have dire consequences for me. But I am afraid. Especially when I'm constantly viewed as "wrong" or "sinful". Why can't I just live my life? Sigh. I'm ranting a bit. It should be noted I'm not "promoting" this. But this does need to be addressed at some point on these forums, I believe. Closing one's eyes and wishing it'd go away doesn't make people like me vanish. [/QUOTE]
