Thanks for this video Mary ❤️🔥 Tell them all, girl!!! We moved to Minneapolis from Texas in 2022, right after SCOTUS struck down Roe v Wade. Texas moved ASAP to assault reproductive rights and we knew the state of TX would be emboldened to come for LGBT+ people too. We had already known that we needed to leave Texas but weren’t necessarily in a hurry. Until Dobbs v Jackson dropped, it changed everything. We needed to be in a state ASAP that would still protect us if protections provided by the federal umbrella went away. We sprung into high gear and were starting new lives in Minnesota just a few short months after the Dobbs decision. I’d rather be cold for half the year in MN where LGBT+ are beloved than live in the sunbelt with a target on our backs.

Minnesota welcomes all loving people. Sure the weather is cold but nothing’s perfect. Our economy is hopping and we need new workers so we all benefit.

What suburbs would you recommend for LGBTQ children?

The only thing I would say is that the twin cities area is like most other metros, the closer you are to the city the more liberal the politics and that tends to reflect the character of the people.

You can look at voting pattern maps online to see where people fall on the spectrum of acceptance in a broad sense

OMG I love you even more now! Thanks for making this video. I am LGBT and like I said in a previous comment I am leaving Texas for Minnesota in a few months! So excited.

I work with so many people that are leaving because of that- I was just chatting with a former client about it the other day and as I think about who I have worked with it’s been a very common theme that they are looking for a place that will treat them as humans with equal rights or they have someone in their family they are worried for

@@MarySchumann That is wonderful. It is sad that this even has to be done but am so grateful for a place like Minnesota. I am happier about my choice by the day. I'm coming even sooner than planned. Moving into Downtown Minneapolis in August! Thanks again for your videos. I enjoy them all even if I am not officially "buying"
