GLSEN’s Strengths and Silences: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Students in Rural and Small Town Schools. The report documents the experiences of more than 2,300 LGBTQ students who attend secondary schools in rural areas. Findings demonstrate that compared to LGBTQ students in urban and suburban areas, LGBTQ students in rural schools are more likely to hear negative comments about gender expression and sexual orientation; feel unsafe at their schools due to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and experience verbal and physical harassment and assault due to these characteristics.
in the city, nobody gives a fuck about you long as you don’t stop them from going from point a to point b. interrupt them though and you better have a good fucking reason
least in the proper big cities, experience probably differ in the more segmented/living-in-the-past places like Boston, where old grudges lie deep
