<p>Even in the South/Bible Belt, many cities will have an area with a large, out, LGBT* population. To take the ones I lived in…in Atlanta it’s Little Five Points, in Louisville it’s the Highlands.</p>
<p>I agree with the earlier suggestions about finding out if your school has an LGBT counseling service. Many do, and such services are generally confidential.</p>
<p>You should also check for LGBT student groups at your college. If you’re worried about people finding out about your involvement with them, you could try just emailing them to see what they say.</p>
<p>If none of these options exist, you could look at another local college, or see if the town you’re in has an LGBT resource center.</p>
<p>*If you’re not familiar with this acronym, LGBT = lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Some people expand it to LGBTQ, where Q = questioning.</p>
