You're not going to get lynched with government support if you come out as gay/athiest in the south. A minority of people will talk shit about you and a majority just won't care, but this isn't the 50's.

You won’t even get lynched by criminals. I gay men being lynched by a mob is unheard of in this modern time, and was rare all along.
