so me and my friends, we love to travel. who doesn't, right??? but this time we're planning a trip and it's such a headache coz we're all in the lgbtq+ community and we don't wanna end up somewhere shitty where we'll be judged or worse. i mean, why do some places have to be so backward about people just living their lives?? like get over it already! 😡 anyway, we've been looking at countries that are more chill, but it's still kinda scary coz you hear stories of people having bad experiences even in places you think would be safe... one minute you're enjoying your iced coffee and next thing you're dealing with some bigot who's decided to ruin your day. ugh!!!!!

we've looked into europe because, duh!!! it seems more open-minded but again there's always some level of risk involved. what if someone decides they don't like the way you look or who you're holding hands with?? 🙄 it's exhausting to think about how careful we have to be when others just take things for granted without a second thought. then there's social media painting everything as rainbow perfect when in reality that's not the case for everyone... like come on!!!! stop sugarcoating!!

had an experience once where we were on a supposedly 'inclusive' beach vacation spot (won't name it now) but got side-eyed by locals every damn day. can't even relax without being judged!! honestly thinking maybe we should just stick to our roots and explore things locally... safer bet i guess. yet here we are still wanting an adventure without any drama attached. is that too much to ask for????
