Queer woman in a passing relationship here. I work for local government in a conservative Southern town. The things people say to me because they assume that I am, A). straight, B). conservative, and C.) religious, are mind boggling. I know they wouldn’t think of it this way, (or probably care, tbh) but they routinely make me feel really unsafe. I would never feel comfortable being out at work down here in the current climate.
