7. Hey, I totally understand where you are coming from
As a gay man, I think it is completely unacceptable to expect us to "sit in the back of the bus waiting for our turn." But fleeing the country isn't going to help anything. As others have pointed out, that is what the Right WANTS us to do. They want us to cut and run. They want to be rid of the "fags and dykes." While it may feel satisfying to flee the shitstorm of modern American politics and all the heartache and pain it engenders, remember the United States has a long arm when it comes to policy. One way or another, the failings of the United States reach well beyond its borders.

We need to fight here, and stop the cancer before it spreads.
