How are you dealing with all these new anti-trans/LGBTQ+ laws? (lemmy.ml)

There's been so many new laws passed across the US (and some other countries world wide as well), that makes it feel like even visiting another area is unsafe. I feel like I can't go anywhere without feeling like the entire state is out to get me.

Every time I hear about rights being taken away I become more bold about my queerness.

Same with my straight cis partner. He actually begged me to paint a trans flag on his banjo because the main online banjo forum was being anti-trans and he was like "Well I don't want people in public thinking I'm a bigot just because I play banjo"

Granted we're a straight passing Canadian couple so these new anti-trans laws haven't directly affected us but he's wholeheartedly an ally and I've identified as bi for as long as I can remember so we do what we can to push back against anti lgbt (or generally bigoted) behaviour.
