Oh interesting topic, I have big issue in last 2 years ago.
In last 2 years ago, I was moved to one relative's house in deep south for 2 weeks, around 2 and half hours away from Atlanta, it's really small town with urban in cluster and rural area. My mom was flavor to send me to high school because she don't trust to deaf school and LA school, I just like ugh and want check out if big difference, oh I was gulped that alot of republican, married coupled and I started feel bad and not my type. I was registered after found interpreter and started in class, I was started closet out at some students in about next few days, some guys are grossed me out and stay away from me, I just like wtf at them, world can do different thing since they don't understand, one hearing guy was wrote the paper and would want kill me when pull on truck, I feel like threated and he said because I'm gay then I was walked to dean's office and reported it then he don't care then I was talked to my relative about what happened and start worried, I was in big fought with them because relative did agree with grandma, I had teached about AIDS/HIV, I told them that AIDS and HIV for homoexual are biggest issue in 70's and 80's then told grandma to shut up and leave me alone. My relative has took on my side, she told me that deep south is different and really homogeneous of straight and conservative then I started called my mom and argued with her then she was accepted thenI left after 2 weeks and transferred to high school in LA, I feel much better, I haven't suffered from homophobia, only there's some issue on between latino and blacks.
I wasn't offensive to southern, I know that rural area, small town and even suburb of southeast are alot of anti-gay and conservative, I only like Atlanta and somewhere in Florida, such as Miami.
