So, do what you need to do for your family. But I’ll say this. I spent time looking into this last go round because I knew Biden was a temporary reprieve. I’m the parent of a trans kid, we did not leave the country for several reasons.
The entire western world is experiencing this dramatic rise in fascism. There’s no guarantee that you will actually avoid this long term.
Many countries (especially the UK) have draconian immigration rules, see above note about fascism.
We ultimately decided to move to a blue state, from a red one, primarily for safety reasons, and made it happen over a couple years. We are far happier in this situation and are now able to help extract other loved ones from similar situations.
Again, do what you need to do for yours and your family’s safety, but you’re in for a tough go of it regardless of what you choose.
The UK is eliminating conversion therapy. The U.S. still has it and Trump has a good chance of forcing people into it.
I’m a dual citizen, I have a queer daughter. I think it’s worth taking advantage of that since my wife and I wouldn’t forgive ourselves if she got taken from us.

Immigration rules are not an issue. I have dual citizenship. Thanks though.

That’s a very different calculation then! I can’t say I’d do it differently in your shoes. Godspeed.
Thank you.
Somehow,.I forgot that “conversion therapy” is anti-gay cult torture-y stuff.
For a bit, I was thinking it was therapy for people who wanted to transition. Because I forgot the word transition and thought it was “convert”.
I know this is meaningless, but I felt like sharing. Lol
I wish we could all forget what it means.
This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.
Canadians feel the same.
