I'm in south central Texas in a small college town outside of Austin (essentially the gay capital of Texas) and nothing is ever really difficult for me. Like I don't wanna jinx myself and get lynched tomorrow but I go out wearing mesh tank tops with booty shorts and combat boots with purple hair and facial piercings and even tho people might look at me funny I never really experience homophobia or hate for my sexuality..
It's kind of bizarre actually because everyone associates Texas with intolerance and ignorance yet it's been very seldom that my sexuality has been brought up in a negative manner against me from the various cities across the state that I've lived in, I guess I'm pretty lucky.
