This was so great to listen to and made me realize that as a person who works in the 2SLGBTQI+ support sector, I need to learn more about the queer refugee experience. This has started my journey in learning more. Thanks so much for this brilliant chat.

extremely important video! and yes, in the US there are many anxieties rising about what a dictatorship under Trump could look like and how very likely many of the queer community would have to flee this country we have lived in all our lives. it is tragic and i hope that the Rainbow Railroad and organizations like it can get more support, especially in difficult and dangerous times

I had a Nigerian immigrant (here @ Eatonton) literally tell me that he was going to marry me & fix after not only unfortunately overhearing me & this bi girl’s conversations about our queer lives, BUT HER TRYING TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION WITH HIM FOR ME!! 😰😥😨 This was the first I’ve ever shared my queer experience to ANYONE! And that was said to me as he was trying play it down as a joke, that was the first I’ve ever felt not only scared of my own life, but I could never trust a queer person to keep me from harm either… I’ve had my fair share of activism at times…. I don’t think I’ll have enough to be a refugee… I’m already given up on the people of the US though….. I’m not where to go or what to do…. Im so sorry that that lady had to go through such trauma, but I’m happy that’s she safe & living her true life.❤ Maybe one I can do the same…. Until then… I’ll have to be safe… very safe….

is there help for lgbtqia+ families living in red states that wish to flee to a state with more lgbtqia protections? (For example from Iowa to Minnesota etc)

@@QueerCollective thank you so much, I'll look further into reaching out to them. I was worried that there would be no help for my specific situation. I'm a queer, trans, disabled parent of 3 and I want my kids out of the homophobic, transphobic environment that my area is becoming. I live in the capital city of Iowa.
