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.

Seriously, we've all fought for so long. Why is it on us, the group with effectively no power, to protect us here? It is the duty of the strong (allies with actual power) to protect the weak (the LGBT community).

NY is pretty great so far. Weather is way nicer.

happy for you 💙 i've never been to new york but with such a diverse mix of people i'm sure it will be refreshing to leave some of those old timey prejudices in the dust
