Hiya.
Ok as for homophobes I know what your dealing with. I know a few and one being my grandma she's very opinionated. she doesnt mind if her next dor neighbors are gay but if i say yeah I like guys and girls and Im a cross -dresser to an extent. shit hits the fan.
I just moved out from my home and Im kiddy-corner to the
lgbt district and smack dab in the art district.
anywhoo im starting school as well and I made myself a uniform that would prolly make my granny keel over... bahah.
As for wht your doing, Its about you! Id join the club personally and if my granny said anything, id just say Im volenteering and or helping a friend I met. if she prys or trys to get you out of there just be like, "Im learning about other people so im not in the majority that doesnt understand, times change."
If you want to take it slow go for an event and meet some people if you click join a club if not your free to walk away.
It comes down to how much shit hitting the fan you can take.
make yourself happy not scum to others happyness.. thats how i roll.
hope I helped. If you got anymore questions or wanna tlk
pm me.
Later.
