Preparing for Anti-LGBTQ+ College

i really appreciate all the comments on here, seriously you guys are a big help and encouragement:) i just need an outlet (now, but i'm referring to when I'm at college) and I know it's going to be so hard to be in an environment that hated people like me . luckily , today I was talking with someone I know who has a very similar train of thought as mine (even tho she's not going to the same college , lucky) but it's comforting to know someone who cares irl. I will definitely keep all this is mind and I'm definitely looking into dating apps and stuff, too

hey guys thanks for the comments, no i didn't, at least not really, i mean the other one i had a choice of was also conservative christian, and my best friend (who's very religious and i know ill end up losing, which breaks my heart), is also going there, and so I decided to go to this college. plus, this one was my mom's favorite and I don't think she'd have really been that happy with me had I not chosen to go here over the other one... my father and I don't really have a relationship, he's not very religious but he's super conservative. I was thinking of finding therapy, it's going to be hard bc my parents aren't really into that so I'd have to pay for it myself. and I was also thinking of starting a group but, I'm so nervous bc what if someone is going to out or turn on me? I've had had relationships (romantic and platonic) in the past and so it really freaks me out to open up. I just need help bc the college leaked a class on one of their sites that I'm r e q u I r e d to take and it's full of conservative christian agenda and anti LGBTQ and abortion stuff, and literally focuses on trans and queer people. I thought that bc I wasn't going for anything religious I could skate by and just learn bible basic shit, but apparently it's all designed to make lgbt kids like me wanna unal!ve themselves , so

My parents are lds and when they first found out I was queer (because someone in the ward told them and idk how in the hell they found out) I was an outcast in my own home. My mom had a really really hard time with it and because of her religion she tried to coax me out of “the gay phase”. It sucked honestly because I was in middle school and our relationship was already very strained but I think that actually helped me in the end. I decided that if she didn’t like queer people she wasn’t going to like me no matter who I dated so I said “screw it im going to do what makes me happy and if she cares about me she’ll be happy I’m happy.” And I basically told her I respected her choice to her religion but that it did not dictate how I would live my life. I brought home a girl and she had a tough time at first but she eventually kept quiet about it. I thought she was just keeping her opinions to herself but then I over heard her talking to her friend defending peoples right to marry who ever they loved. She went on to symbolically adopt my gay best friend and now she defends our rights. I thought being forced out was the worst thing that would happen to me but it ended up actually being on of the best and now because I went through with it we all now have another ally. Family love is at the core of a lot of religions and I think that’s what draws a lot of people in because they believe in family bonds. I don’t know your specific situation but if you don’t fear for your life or severe retaliation I say it’s better to come out 99% of the time. Your family will be happy that your happy after they adjust to it.
