                    also, heads up, a few questions have to do with queerphobia
                        
                        
                        do you live in a city or area that& #39;s lgbtq+ friendly?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        when did you find out your sexuality and / or gender? was it easy accepting yourself or did you struggle to get over your internalised queerphobia?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        is your sexuality and / or gender accepted by the greek queer community?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        if you& #39;ve come out, does anyone in your family or any of your friends support you?
if you are in the closet, who do you consider coming out to first? (good luck https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">)

                        there& #39;s not they / them in greek, but it / its (το / του). do you go by it? what do others think of it?
have you considered using it for yourself, but don& #39;t, because people usually downgrade you to a "thing" that way?

                        have you spoken up when a classmate or teacher of yours said something queerphobic?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        if you are a uni student, is uni queer friendly compared to school?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        do you think that younger generations are open-minded or is it the same old sht?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        not a question, but queer erasure in our mythology and history must stop https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen">
