I'm not out to my parents, and I live hours away from any big city. I can't drive. I feel so stuck in this town, and I hate living here. I'll have to wait until next year to get my drivers permit before I can even dream about going to any pride event. Even when I do have my permit, how am I going to tell my parents that I'm just going to Madison, which is 2 hours away... I feel so trapped and lonely.. Is there any way to get rid of these feelings?
In my country, Pride events are steamed live online for people who can't come. I watched the stream instead because of bad weather, lack of time, etc. See if there's anything like that?
i feel jealous too i really want to go but it's a 4 hour trip from where i live and i don't have anyone to go with so.. i wish next year i will make it..
Jealous too. It's in the same city, yet there are some radical jocks who hate the gays over here... it's not completely safe.
I feel this way too. I also hate how because I am not out I've been in two stores in the last week that were selling Pride gear and I couldn't buy anything. It's hard to not be out in Pride month when you want to participate.
i feel you guys... a straight friend just told me he’d been to a pride parade recently and actually complained about how it made him “boring” for “doing what everyone else does”........... meanwhile i’m stuck, unable to go to pride unless i come out due to the distance, and wishing sooooo badly that i could go.
