I'm waiting for the inevitable immigration programs that countries are gonna roll out to make it easier/more attractive for educated Americans
Yes, this is "my" country, but fixing the gaping wound it's got now won't solve all the other more insidious issues
I am hoping some countries offer asylum for queer people whether or not they are educated.
That would be fantastic. I've been thinking a lot about early 1930's Germany lately, and the Jewish people who saw the writing on the wall there. The people who survived the Holocaust were mostly the ones who got out before it started.
I have queer kids. I'm currently working on moving my family to Canada.
Good luck! Every queer person needs to get out of America if they can. I fear for their safety. My daughter is queer and we just emigrated to the UK because of that.
I'm glad you had the means and ability to get your daughter out and you're a good parent for prioritizing her safety and well being.
Sorry to be annoying but you emigrate from and immigrate to.
Thanks!
Thanks. It's heartbreaking, because I love my city and I grew up here. I have a house. I have pets. I have roots. But the whole country is no longer save for my kids.
If I had no children, I'd stay and fight as best I can. But kids change the equation. I have to make sure they survive. And evidence strongly indicates that they're going to be targets of the new Nazis if we stay.
As a broke disabled trans person, who isn't getting out of the country let alone shitty red state my SO and I are in anytime soon, yes please. I should've gotten a passport when I had the chance but here we are...
I am so sorry.
Hopefully we can at least move to a safer state when our current lease runs out, moving is just expensive chaos is all, and our lease is for another year and a half :/ Worst case we just hop in the car and leave but that's less than ideal.
I hope so for your sake! I am so worried for queer Americans.
