๐ง๐ผ: At least im not in constant fear of being killed
๐ฆง: really? *Trollface*
Really. I don't know how exactly looks day to day life in other countries but my country feels extremely safe compared to what I sometimes read about the US or Western Europe (not to mention countries like Brazil or Mexico or some African countries). To be honest people here in Poland don't even think about such things as being killed or just even mugged randomly because chances it would happen are lower than winning at EuroJackpot.
Western Europe reporting in, I don't really ever get afraid of being killed, it's hardly a thing. I think it might either be a US only thing (because you know... guns) or just you and me getting a distorted view of what the sentiment actually is across the pond because we're only seeing it through the Internet.
As a gay men living in western Europe, I do feel unsafe. Probably not as much as I would feel if I was living in other parts of the world, but still.
To be fair I feel unsafe around eastern groups of people, no surprise there.
You have "GAY" tattoo on your forehead or what?
What if I do?
Why do you feel unsafe then? How do you differ from any other men that you feel unsafe as a gay person?
