Oh, all the time. University pride centers are supposed to be safe spaces, but sometimes people will play the “I’m better than you” or the “I’m more of a minority than you” game. Or they will say “You’re not really bisexual; you’re just pretending” or “if you were really transgender, then you would be this way”. It was very much in line with what @zenvelo describes.
One of my best friends said that she was disappointed when she came out as gay and faced intolerance from the very community she sought refuge with. She was teased for “fitting” the stereotype of a gay woman and continued to struggle with her identity thereafter as a result. She’s doing swell now, but it saddened me to learn that about her coming out process.
I have met plenty of GSRM persons who are more open and tolerant. A different close friend and his SO are extremely supportive activists who give me hope that things will change. They are so positive and inclusive and give me inspiration to be a more vocal advocate.
I have not faced much adversity in my own coming out process, but I am hesitant to have the talk with more people than I already have because I am afraid of what I may hear—whether I broach the discussion with another member of the GSRM community or not.
