Hi everyone, my name's Nate(o?) (idk really know why i chose that name but it's there now). I've known about EC for years now but never bothered to make an account until it said I've "hit the read limit without making an account" so I guess it's a good time as ever now to start being a member haha. Anyway, I'm from Indonesia, which is surprisingly not the worst place in the world to be gay. I'm out to my university friends but unfortunately I can't to my own parents since they're homophobic due to religion (that's a tough barrier to break).
Hello, Nateo! I am from Indonesia and currently living in Singapore. Jakarta is metropolitan enough compared to other cities in Indonesia. However, level of social conformity is still quite high. People who stand out from the crowd tend to be treated as a threat to the group rather than celebrated.
