Thanks :-) I really didn't expect anything like Facebook stalking. It was that, that caused all the up-rift. I wish I would of thought about it before I left the city. It's just not something you really think about.
Honestly, its not the gay thing at all. I mean in some sort it is. There is much intolerance but I can close the door and be happy. I have had a few comments (under people's breath) but for the most part it isn't an issue. Of course it's unlike the city where you can put a rainbow flag on that back of your car or tell people "Hey, I'm gay man, thanks for trying to hook me up with you Sis/Cousin/daughter twice removed. It's something I keep private but man you hit any of my social media all your going to see is 1.Liberal Politics 2.Atheism and Science related material 3.Gay things (friends that were also partnered or an issue related to something. Perhaps, I should of more thought out things before coming... Mostly I fear vandalism...
Yeah, that isn't so hard the only time I have breached that line is when I talk to a friend on the phone off my balcony, its right below a small-town restaurant and my voice may carry a bit.
Thanks again everyone!

Quote:In my personal experience, it's best to try and avoid the sensitive topics and remain polite as ling as they're not being openly aggressive. Don't cause conflicts, let them get to know you and they may gradually start seeing you in a better light. Given time, maybe they'll move past the stereotypes and prejudice.
