Indeed...I've noticed this too. When you are at high school bullying and harassment happens if you come out as gay but in uni this doesn't really happen much. People, especially the new generation is quite understanding. When I was at high school I couldn't imagine the thought of coming out in front of friends but after uni I have actually come out to a lot of people. Ofc the environment depends but still people mature by then maybe that's why
I agree, at first I was really hesitant because of the trauma that I have experienced during high school, but after knowing that people are supportive and they are really matured and open minded that's how I got to openly express myself. And ps the first time that I have come out during college is when I confessed to my crush, and after months of just casually talking and him making my best friend as his spy to look after me, and then magic happened we started going out but still not open cause he is not yet out to his fam which is fine, I'll wait for that moment to come.
Ohh are you a boy? That's so sweet also im so sorry for what you had to go through..stay strong Fighting! I wish you best of luck for your future! I had a crush too. She was my crush since 6th grade haha but I didn't dare confess to her cause she's straight and a very close friend of mine. Even tho I still have some lingering feelings for her its still fading...well I hope I meet someone nice in life too!
You too! Be happy and stay strong okay(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
College is really different, there is no prejudice on your preferred sexuality, I have noticed quite a lot of straight guys hanging with gays, and girls with gays and lesbians. And as a gay person I am so thankful that college is different from what I have experienced during high school.
