So what country is everyone from? What is the general situation for legbutts in your country?

>>1800898 >country Murrka >situation for legbutts in my country Depends on the area. The northeast/ new England area seems to be fairly tolerant, as does the west coast and certain larger urban areas throughout the midwest. Anywhere in the south or southwest though seems fairly hostile to queers though. Granted, some larger southern cities are a bit more tolerant but overall I would not want to be open about being gay down there.

>country Sweden. (Don't tell /pol/) >What is the general situation for legbutts in your country? Very good I guess. There are way too many radical feminist women with way too much power though. "Political lesbians" run the entire lgbt cause and are *always* left wing extremists, while gay men are usually more conservative than the average citizen. Surprisingly this level of normalization has led to extremely few gay bars and venues. "Gay bars" isn't even a thing outside the capital.

>country suomi failand prkl >situation for legbutts in my country It's alright I guess? People are generally nice about it in public. Lot of areas where I wouldn't dare walk hand in hand with my boyfriend, but we did almost have an openly gay president, and the last one before this was a widely suspected lesboid. That's got to count for something!

Brazil The situation in my country is hard to tell because it's huge and the culture varies a lot from region to region. Where I live specifically it's a nightmare, so I keep myself shut in the closet.

>>1803750 There are different ways you can immigrate. Look around on official websites, they give clauses for all that. Generally they expect you to be able to financially support yourself and any family you might be bringing along. I didn't know about the French thing, though. Not really useful unless you're moving to Quebec or New Brunswick or something.

Ireland here. Overall the majority of people are accepting and even supportive of gay people, although I can't say the same for trans. Young people don't give a shit and sexuality isn't an issue for them. There's still some hostility among older generations, super religious Catholics (young and old) and scummy chavs but on the whole it's fine really. The most annoying thing is if you live outside of Dublin actually trying to meet other normal openly gay people is hard.

>So what country is everyone from? Removekebabia >What is the general situation for legbutts in your country? Could be worse. We can't marry and PDOA is probably not the wisest thing in the world. Still, we're not getting arrested or murdered, there are some anti discrimination laws in place regarding employment and police seems to take gay bashing seriously enough. I read that most people still think that being gay should be illegal, 70% or something like that, though I imagine most of them are in rural areas. And you can't talk about gay rights without at least one idiot mentioning a concentration camp on a deserted island or a gas chamber. Still, none of my more feminine or outspoken friends had any real trouble aside from standard bullying.
