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.

I bounce between being angrily out and worried about the safety of my family. I'm not worried so much about the politicians here in Canada, I don't believe that the the alt right rhetoric will win them government, but I do worry about the nutjobs they will inspire to act out violently.

I noticed this year that while my town was drowning in rainbows this time last year, there are maybe 2 or 3 on businesses and I haven't seen one on houses this year.

So, sadly, m'husband and I have agreed that there will be no Pride flag on the house this year and we'll walk the pride march with a careful eye on the protesters who will turn up.
