It was only once my boyfriend and I started going out together in public\u00a0that I observed\u00a0various\u00a0discrepancies in the\u00a0rights of\u00a0straight couples compared to\u00a0LGBT couples.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll begin with a quick story that relates back to my experience with dating. Everyone makes such a big deal about &#8220;coming out of the closet.&#8221; It&#8217;s so hyped up that it almost seems like a necessary step. A step that will resolve all your problems.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re out, you&#8217;re free. Right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, not quite. That&#8217;s probably the biggest lesson I&#8217;ve learned since I started dating another guy. Even when you&#8217;re out and proud, inequality still poses a serious challenge to enjoying\u00a0a satisfying\u00a0relationship\u00a0equal to that of a straight couple.<\/p>\n<p>I think a primary example of this is holding hands in public. An ordinary and innocent act of affection. Yet so people still do a double-take when they see two men or two women holding hands.\u00a0That&#8217;s one thing I don&#8217;t think I\u00a0expected. When my boyfriend and I go out in public, we often have to debrief\u00a0about whether or not it&#8217;s safe for us to walk hand-in-hand. And sometimes, we simply know right away that we can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Ha that may even sound silly to someone who doesn&#8217;t go through it but it&#8217;s very much a real problem. I think it&#8217;s unfair that so many LGBT couples have to determine whether or not it&#8217;s safe to publicly show that they care about one another.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one example of many. There&#8217;s also issues with the\u00a0comments people mumble, the actions people take, and the legal rights we receive, just to name a few. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll never forget this one night, me and my boyfriend were walking to a small coffee shop before it was time to see a movie. We had both gotten something to drink and we were on our way back to see the movie. As we walked along the sidewalk deeply engrossed in conversation, we passed by a restaurant where people were seated\u00a0outdoors. There was this\u00a0one table of guys who were\u00a0all talking really loudly. Someone flicked a red-hot cigarette and it hit me. I glanced over at the person who threw\u00a0it and continued to walk on. After I had taken a few steps, I could hear one guy from behind say, &#8220;Dude, I think you hit someone with that,&#8221; and the other guy said, &#8220;Nah, just one of the gay guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I guess that makes it ok. :\/<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12791\" style=\"width: 705px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12791 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=680,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=199,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=510,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1021,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1361,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=189,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 284w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=193,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=270,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=811,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/dsc05826.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Random pic of me, my boyfriend, and our friend at the beach this summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are many instances of inequality in\u00a0society that put LGBT individuals\u00a0in disadvantaged positions.\u00a0Has inequality ever affected you in any way?
