Officially its safe and everything is legal and accepted, but there are still people who dont accept and who will be agressive or violent toward gay lesbian or trans people. In my high school theres only one boy who came out and is being teased and bullied by some of the other boys. So its probably better than in many countries and I think it will also be better when we are adults.
Is your country/area friendly/safe for lgbtq+ peole?

Yes

I am straight, but I have many gay/bi friends. We are all comfortable with each other. I live in Texas and we are way more open minded than people think.

Like others said, there are some stupid and ignorant people, but otherwise it's very safe. At least in the city. I think in rural areas it's a bit less accepted, but it's still safe.

I think my country as a whole has made some good strides , but still has a ways to go. In my area near Orlando, Florida yes that area does accept the LGBTQ+ community quite well.

I think it is pretty safe, as an example at my high school there is a support group that has quite a few members. I had thought about joining it but am not ready to be publically out. No one gets teased or picked on because of it. There wasn't any talk of it or groups in primary school though (thats k to 8 here). I know of a few boys in 9th grade who are gay and have talked to a few of them as well.

Yes, especially my part of the county. But of course here are idiots too
-
It's safe, but you're gonna have individuals who won't be very friendly about it

I have been picked a bunch of times for all this and I have fought a bunch too
People assume I am violent while I just defend myself
If I tell them that actually I feel like a girl and would like to try girl clothes that will prolly get things even worse
So no I dont think people are lgbtqia+ friendlyDont be afraid to come talk to me, I dont bite... -

a lot of secondary schools are going to have a ton of people being homophobic/not so understanding or just outright bullies.. The Uk claims we're doing better and that w'ere becoming a safer place but i feel we're just being blind and that theres still a lot of hate in the UK as i know a fact someone lgbt had crimes committed against them in my area due to a homophobic person -

Yes, I think my country is generally safe for anyone, however they view themselves or label themselves. Likely more tolerant of course, in the cities, but even rural areas are safe.
