    I’ve said this before, but I think it bears repeating. The rising acceptance of open disdain and hate against LGBTQ+ people in the US is unnerving. The terrifying part is that this hate is becoming state sponsored. Freedom and liberty, amirite?

    I will say, however, that during these troubling times, I’ve found support and acceptance in seemingly unlikely places. This gives me hope, and made me face my own preconceived notions of others.

    Really? I get the US isn’t the best at it, but come on, you go to jail in Russia for being in an LGBTQ marriage, and in China LGBTQ marriage is still considered a second rate union. Your asking the US to force a societal change but not China and Russia for a legal change? That seems to be slightly bullshit

    Correction: my original statement was incorrect.
