Is being Gay and open more dangerous now?

[Sylph]

URGH I almost forgot one thing! I had a few friends who refused to believe I was gay (coincidentally, these friends (happened on more occassions) were all muslim). That makes coming out harder today than it was before!
Imagine being laughed at with a "pfft.. yeah right!" comment thrown in at the end, when you're sincerely coming out to somebody. That's hurtful.

Actually never really thought of it that way. As opposed to myself, where I have a hard time getting people to believe I'm straight, it must be a Lil emotionally taxing to have to work up the nerve to come out only to kinda have it pushed aside, cause you aren't someone like me.

In that sense, I suppose it is more dangerous emotionally, as (judging by this forum alone) many gay males tend not to have overt signs of their sexuality. For a multitude of reasons mind you, but nonetheless still :/

Interesting take on it gurl
