    I legit had so much anxiety and despair watching the first 15 minutes I had to get up, walk a literal quarter mile to clear my head, then got back, heard more, walked out on the porch and just cried.

    I’m so getting arrested for being gay in Texas. I can feel it in my bones.

      Sending love from the cold bits of NY. It ain’t over until it’s over-and then you hitch a ride up here and I row you into Canada.

      Dude, I know it isn’t always possible, but I would be doing everything in my power to get out of Texas before they set up state border crossings to contain their breeding-aged female hosts. It isn’t just gaiety that makes us vulnerable to the boot, certain reproductive organs make us targets as well.

      I am worried about a lot of the people in Texas, sending hugs.

        they set up state border crossings

        That’s one of the few things that is almost certainly unconstitutional and I don’t think even this SCOTUS would let fly. Free travel between the states and federal power over interstate commerce are just too big a deal.

          They are already trying to restrict interstate travel for the purposes of abortion. I really don’t think it’s outside of the realm of possibility.

      Lots of love from NZ. I feel your fear and I empathise. Trump will be a disaster for the world
