I grew up in Greece and Cyprus, both Christian Orthodox countries and the oppression I have experienced over the years for being gay has been horrible to say the least. Yes, they may not kill us in the streets (well, a lot get beat up, actually), but we're constantly reminded we're sub-humans, especially from the head of the church who wants separate schools for "perverted children" (he said that just last year). I don't know a single person who can live with his partner with no abuse from society, neighbours, family, etc. Having lived in the UK and seen attitudes of people from different countries, I can say that the difference is night and day.

Yikes- that sounds awful. I'm glad you managed to escape the hate.

Thanks. Things are getting better, though. They're still shit but two years ago we had our first pride which is a start (never been in one, not my thing, but it's progress).
