This is going to be a poorly written rant, and I hope by writing this I am not over exaggerating things that aren't really that big of a deal, but I digress.
Being a closet gay in the "Bible Belt" is the most frustrating emotionally draining trainwreck ever possible in the modern developed world, not only do you have to constantly check all your mannerisms (that have nothing to do with being gay, just who I am), liking crossing my legs when I sit down, rotating my wrist, not liking sports, writing and caring about my hair; in fear of being asked if I am gay. Which if I was to be asked that question, it would be physically impossible for me to lie (due to the "raising" my father gave me, it is very very hard for me to tell even the weakest of lies), therefore I would just have to awkwardly change the subject, giving myself away and possibly endangering my entire social life/actual life.
Not that other people are the worst part of being gay in the conservative part of America, in many cases it is often the family. The family that doesn't know you are gay, the family that very often talks about how much they hate gays, especially my father (who thankfully no longer lives with me). Case in point with him, when I posted something as a gay joke on Facebook, he threatened my life and liberty when I spent the night at his house, not because I was gay, but because I mentioned that it is possible to be gay, yeah, fun.
So there is my semi-rant that I made many grammatical mistakes in, and left out several details I might include at a later date.
