Does anyone feel facing constant homophobia might be a reason for ctb?

[Skyyyfarer 26]

I live in an Asian country and the homophobia and discrimination here is a lot. I'm in my 20s but i still have to lie about my sexuality for my safety because I've seen how badly queer people are bullied in my workplace

I live in a country where queer people are still looked down upon. The violence openly queer people here experience make me feel even more depressed about my current life and how it would be if i came out 100%. I myself am Transgender who wants to medically transition and the complicated process and my mental health history will mostly end up me being denied HRT, which even the thought of it makes me want to CTB. So yes, the homophobia/transphobia is one of the bigger reasons why i want to CTB myself too.

 

[Pipsqueak!]

This is the reason why I'm never really open up about my sexuality and such unless someone I'm cool with were to ask me. It sucks how certain people can't just be accepting regardless of race, sexuality, gender or whatever other factors there may be.

 

[John Ryder]

Absolutely. Can't speak on Asia (though I've read homophobia runs rampant in many Asian countries), but in the west we love to proclaim how far we've progressed as an inclusive society, when much of that inclusiveness takes the form of toothless lip service and slacktivism on social media. Still a massive issue in terms of daily experience that drives an untold number to ctb

The same in South Korea. Our government supports LGBTQ, but our society not, generally speaking.
I lied about my sexuality when I was younger. Then I moved to Norway because of my studies and I made coming out and found a norwegian gf there.
My parents still don't know that I'm bisexual and I'm not planning to change it though

 

[Gaga786]

Yes, I live in a homophobic country and it surely is a reason why I am leaning towards CTB.I can't marry nor I can disclose my sexuality to anyone , and my family believes that it's just phase or that im confused. They want me to seek therapy to convert myself to straight, but I honestly doubt it'll work.

I'm in the United States over on the West Coast, and I've seen so much homophobia and discrimination. I haven't fully opened up about my sexuality cause I don't want people to treat me differently, which is sad. I am actually queer myself.

 

[diviosd]

Yes definitely. It's part of the reason I'm going to too.

 

[leloyon]

Yes. I would say that the knowledge that society actively discriminates against you due to something inherent about you is good enough reason to commit suicide alone.

Yes exactly
I wanna come out but the horrible treatment of openly queer around me is keeping me from doing so
(also this is unrelated but i really like ur pfp and I was just talking to my friend about fontaine release tomorrow )

 

[Jojo_Kun]

I won't say it's the main reason for me for wanting to do CTB . But it's certainly a major reason. I feel so hopeless about my future. I live in a country where I just can't come out, honestly it's kinda scary.

 

[Sammie_com.sanrio]

Honestly even though in my country people can like be free and stuff I've never told my mom that I'm trans but she would get really mad if I'm my family we bring up lqbt

 

[wristcutangel]

it's definitely a major reason, also being from a severely homophobic asian country.

 

[NoHorizon]

It makes me so sad knowing that so many people kill themselves because other people treat them terribly for no other reason than because of what type of person they feel love for. It's so absurd and unnecessary to hate someone for that - like my favourite colour is blue but I don't feel the need to be cruel to people who prefer red.

 

[Stormy Raine]

Out of everything in the world I'll never understand why people feel the need to be homophobic? Why do they care so much? I'm only concerned about someone's sexuality if I plan to sleep with them. I'm not gay and I'm so sorry people are still so hateful about other's sexuality. Everyone has a right to be with whoever they want!

 

[front of me]

I am proud to be gay
