This is a pretty brave thing to do, no matter how different the situation is between here and your home. I'm lucky that I'm from somewhere that most people don't really care about such things as much as it seems other worlds do, but I know from experience it's still a process between discovery and acceptance. So, good on you for getting to a point where you can say it.
And, you know, I'll echo what others have said. I might not know you personally or know your story, but I definitely care. We're a community here, you know?
