Ugh. That sucks. For what it's worth, when I did summon the courage to hit up my local campus queer org, they were really pretty good about it. It maybe helped that I was pretty focused on listening to other people, too; there was a really good attitude there of listening to other people's issues and keeping them in mind.
I'm particularly glad they were good about it because at least two folks who were there while I was have since picked up national advocacy positions--one who seems to have been taken under Laverne Cox' wing, another who was featured on the new Queer Eye a while back--and so I'm this weird mixture of really proud and really glad that those are the people whose voices are getting amplified.
