Wow, it's been a while since I've posted in here. How is everyone?
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of good news as of late. My boyfriend and I have been arguing lately over some small things that could otherwise be easily resolved. I don't want us to break up over it but I don't know what to do if we can't reach a compromise soon. (In short, I'm a very active, free-spirited, partygoing kind of person whereas he's rather shy and protective. Our opinions tend to clash a lot.)
My family has also gotten more openly homophobic in their words and actions. (Or maybe it's just the same as it's always been and I'm just noticing it more, either way it's not good) Made worse by the fact that they don't KNOW they're insulting me around every corner; they just speak what's on their mind and don't care who hears. I want to step in sometimes and try to defend LGBT people when they say stuff but I'd get shut down just as quickly. Only a few more months I'll have to put up with this garbage. It'll be over soon.
On the bright side, I recently learned that more than half the staff of the summer camp I worked at know I'm gay. Even though I only recall explicitly coming out to maybe two or three people...oh well. Support is support however you look at it and there's no better feeling
