America has homophobia, and it can be bad in parts. But there are a lot of countries allegedly 'more tolerant' than America, that have really brutal homophobic assaults.
One night I was walking home, and encountered on a homophobic group of youths, now since I was straight looking and acting I ended up okay. They were carrying baseball bats and other makeshift weapons.
But had I looked at them the wrong way I would have ended up in hospital. This was an upper middle class area I am taking about, right in New Zealand.
Haven't had any experience like that here, slurs are one thing, but physical violence is what I really worry about. As long as I can walk safe enough at night, with risk of being beaten up I am all good.
