'fear holding hands in public' according to BBC News today.
I knew the feeling well when walking around town in parts of the UK, though nowhere in Mallorca which is quite gay friendly. However, when last in Italy my fear was worse since the country strongly disapproved of gays and our lifestyles.
Anyway, I thought this news feature was most interesting, and hope you do, too.

There is much more support(LGBT+ youth groups) and places to go like nightclubs ect.
We definitely have it better than other places and while trans individuals still have to tip toe around here, it's nowhere near as bad as other places like American where you can get shot in your daily life.
It's really sad that people can't just have an opinion and get on with their lives
I understand the person above. I used to consider myself "a believer" but after a similar experience I made a conscious effort not to believe and now consider myself a non-believer.
These people are supposed to love everyone! Why does who I have sex with or build an emotional relationship with affect their lives or impact on them in any way?
Live your life - the only person who has a right to make you feel bad about yourself is you.
