Kicked out of the house?

Hi

As much as I like to think that being gay is no longer Taboo (and for the most part this is true). Sadly it does mean you are sometimes met with a never ending parade of stupid. Sadly people being kicked out still happens, I am in the UK and have a had a few friends who were kicked out by their parents. Mostly they were religious households. I don't want to say it doesn't happen, not going to lie about that. What I will say is that it happens less often than it used to.

I'm in Australia, and even though most people are accepting of it here, there are always going to be those who don't respect it - at my Uni, it's pretty clear who those people are; they make their disgust pretty clear - kinda hurts tbh…

I think therefore, that the "kicking out of the house" thing still happens, even here, but there's a helpline which helps deal with this, and kicking an adolescent out permanently has its legal ambiguity as well

Facing the consequences of being kicked out is stil not so easy..

it is highly probable i get kicked out of the house since an asshole living near me saw me cruising. i always thought he was a closeted married dude until yesterday,as i got off the bus he was also in, as i was walking he screamed hey madman, where are you going?

i always thought he was at least curious because he would always watch guys having fun in the restroom while he was smoking. he never seemed to be bothered by it so i can't understand his hateful comments towards me.

I am sorry you had to endure that. Comments can really get under your skin. But don't let it break your spirit

Thanks, that is really nice. I must admit that I have taken a few precautions like today renting a bank locker to safely store my academic certificates, also have some money I saved. However, I do hope this does not come to this eventuality.

where do you live? by the time you're adult (I suppose youre not if you still live with parents) you will move out eventually ?

Very isolated case of being kicked out in our country. My heart went out to those gays who have been kicked out just for being gay

It does happen. I have read several stories lately about cities that are dealing with LGBTQ homeless issues.

I live in an Indian household in the middle east. The chances of me not being kicked out of the house when I come out are very small (5% in my head).
So, whenever I think about coming out, for me, the scenario is almost always when I've graduated from university and have a steady job to at the least support my basic necessities.
It's definitely hard to think about, but I've just kind of come to the conclusion that my parents will not/ won't be able to accept me being gay.

But my advice to everyone, me included, is to make sure that you don't lose hope. No matter how small, there may be a chance that your family will be able to look past what society thinks and accept you for who you are.

Nevertheless, just for precaution, be sure that you can support yourself if you are kicked out.

Much love to all the people struggling with coming out!! :love: :love: :love:
