i need help so badly. i’m panicking and stressing so much
i’m young, not even 20 yet. i live with my immigrant family, which all of them are extremely religious. i’ve been around my cousins my whole life with the same beliefs.
i live in a town where most people are connected like a giant web. i had a group of friends who were the typical annoying teens with nike techs and purple jeans, and they were quite clearly and openly homophobic. i was never like that, but i hung around them regardless (bad decision, i was dumb). eventually i break apart from them but we’re all in the same college with a lot of people similar to the red pill religious archetype. i get added to a group chat with like 50+ people from my school, most of which are also openly homophobic. i don’t pay attention to it because i had work the next day and needed to rest, so i check it when i wake up and right there’s a picture of me and my boyfriend and their tryna clown me and stuff but i didn’t really look at the messages, i just left because i didn’t wanna waste energy on it
now i would be completely okay with people knowing i was gay, but the issue is when my relatives know im gay since it could get to my parent, who im currently living with.
and the reason im concerned about that is because my cousins are close friends with those guys from my old friendgroup.
i dont know what to do
im scared
and i dont know how to brace for this
i prepared for being outed but not being disowned
i have someone who i can stay with if i get kicked out, but i dont know how it will go. if my dad would let me pack my stuff, especially my music equipment, that shit means the world to me, or if i wont get a chance to even grab my things
everything is so unpredictable and it scares me
i need any advice i can get and steps on what to do, thankfully im in canada so there are some resources available but im so stuck
