Don't Live in the Same City As Your Family If They Don't Accept You As Gay/Bi?

Well Houston is a big enough city where you really can avoid your parents altogether so it's less likely to matter. You already know where they live, where they shop, etc. Simply avoid those places and that end of town and that should do it.

I'm a fan of people venturing out. Being from a small town myself, I have had the opportunity to experience a few major metro areas. I have learned that "ain't never been no whea" can apply to people who are from large cities as well.

Also because I have been to a few places, I have learned that I just like major cities and a lot of what I like can be replicated in most cities... Racial diversity, diverse restaurants, parks, recreation, festivals, rapid transit, hub airport etc. Give me those and I'm pretty good. I prefer areas that have at least 1.8 million people in the Metropolitan area.

I like Atlanta however because it is close to home to a degree and the weather I'm used to. Being gay friendly definitely helps but isn't a major factor for me simply because people don't assume I'm gay off the bat and I'm not the most approachable anyway.

I will say that when you are done with school, your job offers are likely going to determine where you'll end up anyway. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to choose from of your top picks.
