It’s fortunately not as bad as that everywhere, and there’s also different developments. A pretty large part of society is becoming more accepting of us, not just tolerant, but actually caring and genuinely curious and willing to help where they can. I’ve had overwhelmingly positive reactions when i came out, i actually have more and deeper friendships than i used to, there’s loads of wonderful, kind, supportive people out there.

But there’s this backlash at the same time, and in the areas and milieus where that’s happening, it’s really terrifying and awful.
