I think the right move at this point is to leave the country, maybe if it gets bad enough we can claim asylum in a country that knows what that means
I've lived in Tennessee all my life. It's completely stifling. Spent my whole life feeling like I'd been shoved in a tiny box with no air holes. But it's gorgeous out here, and I love the mountains, and if I leave, that means one other queer person feels a little more stifled. Why do homophobes get to keep the mountains, anyway? So I stayed.
Even I'm thinking about kissing this country goodbye. Goddamn.
