Unfortunately if you want to have a normal life as a gay man, you're basically forced to move to a city or leave the country.
I live in a country that legalised gay marriage before plenty of adults were born, and it's still an issue here.
I'm not even gay and I find it fucking tiring. I can only begin to imagine how tiring it is for you.
Honestly, I know the pride thing can be a bit much, but apparently us straight people need more gay stuff shoved in our faces if the mainstream is ever to change enough for you guys to feel comfortable doing 'shocking' stuff like holding your bf's hand, giving each other a chaste kiss in the morning, or taking your partner to a work related party.
Let alone actual equality. I mean, imagine actual mainstream movies which enthusiastically and blatantly sexualise the gay male body.
Hell, imagine what would happen if someone re-made Michael Bay's Transformers movie, replaced Megan Fox with some really hot 18 year old guy, include an extended shower scene, then all the gay teenagers went to see it and hung posters of that sexy twink on their bedroom wall. Then that hot twink went on to model swimsuits and was pictured with his oiled sweaty ass on bus stop posters across the nation in an advertising campaign for underwear. Then everyone rolled their eyes and said 'boys will be boys'.
