Akhi, nobody of the scholars in the link said that the prayer of a person with tight clothes is unvalid. If you pray in tight pants your prayer is still valid so long as they cover the area from the navel to the knees. Noone of the scholars in the link said that the prayer is invalid.

As for this concern:

trimming pubes (people think you are gay if you do that)

How would anyone find out?

Not having a proper Quran teacher (or any Islamic teachers)

That is a bit of a problem. Start out by trying to perfect your pronounciation of the arabic letters. Here is a great site:

There you can practice on basic tajwid (proper recitation of the Qur'an).

And as for people recognising you as a Muslim... I'd suggest you look at this statement from Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyah:

“If the Muslim lives in a disbelieving country, whether or not that state is hostile with the Muslim states, he will not be obligated to expose himself as different than them. This is on account of the difficulties that doing so can pose. Indeed, it might become preferable or even obligatory for him to conform to their outward standards of appearance if there is a benefit for the faith in doing so like inviting them to Islam, a prevention of difficulties for the Muslims, or the realization of any other wholesome intention.” [Iqtidâ’ al-Sirât al-Mustaqîm (176)]

Akhi, if you pray naked, is it valid?

I have established that. But one of the scholars in the link I oringinally posted said it was invalid, and I want to understand why they disagree with each other.
I also want to know if it is sinful to have regular trousers on outside prayer. In the west, trousers are normally quite narrow, so tight trousers are things like jeans and tracksuit trousers. But in all Islamic cultures, trousers are very wide by western standards. So when the prophet told us not to wear tight trousers, was he refering to really tight trousers, or regular ones?

Except for school, I've managed to wear my shalwar kameez all day today. I guess that means they don't mind!

issue on izar......theres a hadith from bukhari.....am not sure if it help u not....

ibn umar said that the prophet said 'he who traits his dress in pride on the grounds, Allah will not look at him on the day of resurrection.'
Thereupon Abu Bakr said "O Allah's messenger, my izar gets loose, until i tie it(again). And Allah's messenger said 'tou are not one of those who do this out of pride.'
