#queer safety
Apartment hunting has shown me that so many kids my age and younger openly broadcast that they are running away from abusive homes and that they are LGBT. I sympathize completely, but you do not under any circumstances need to be on a roommate finder website telling strangers on the internet that you are part of a vulnerable minority with no one back home who cares what happens to you… just say you are moving out, end of. Once you get to trust someone you live with then you can share the backstory. Internet safety is something that still matters.
If you’re trying to avoid ending up with a bigoted roommate, “Must be queer friendly.” That’s literally all you need to say until you’ve at least met the person.
Question for people in Dallas/Irving Texas:
Do you know of any trans-friendly places my gf and I can go to while we’re there next weekend? She’s competing in an armored combat tournament there, otherwise we wouldn’t be going there rn
