For context, my current companion is not openly gay at work because he (correctly) predicts that it will have a significantly negative net effect on his career, despite whatever social/legal framework exists to prevent that from happening.
So in short, yes, you do live in a fantastic fantasy land where you aren’t heavily punished for being who you are.
I’d say that I would try to enjoy my fantasy land even more due to the people who don’t share my circumstances, but I actually already knew all that and already do.
I hope your companion gets to find his own fantasy land some day.
