I (23F) am a lesbian, a foreign student studying in the Philippines. I go to a college in the Taft area.

Long story short, my home country is a very religious place where queerness is criminalized and severe punishments like jail time and deportation can be inflicted upon you if you are found out.

Most of my classmates and friends here are from my home country, and they are all quite religious and homophobic as well. However I ended up becoming close friends with a few of them and came out to them (in my defense, they acted quite open minded at first). Then they ended up being crazy homophobic towards me, and I had to distance myself from them.

However, I am very afraid that they will out me to the rest of the students in our section. It's an unfortunate possibility because they said some things like that to me during my last conversation with them. If they out me to everyone, and especially if word gets out to my family, my life would become quite difficult. To put it lightly.

So I'm looking for a gay guy around my age to pose as my "boyfriend" and do some sort of soft launch on instagram/fb and keep it up for at least a couple of months, then there would be substantial evidence that I am "not a lesbian."

Any straight-passing gay guy around my age (23-26) in my area (Taft Manila) (preferably someone who has a boyfriend already), who's willing to help me out? It would also be nice to make some queer friends along the way.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, please direct me if there's a better page to get some help. Thank you.
