    Imagine the one space you can feel safe, the one space you're able to be yourself, ruined by a straight person who thinks it's all a joke?

        then why ask if there are places where people are punished for being gay and bring it to the US? that's confusing.

      I thought the one safe space was the gay nightclub, now it's Rio? Or do you mean Grindr, the casual sex app?
