Isn’t England on a pretty tenuous political path too?
After far too many years of Tory misrule, it definitely feels like the situation is turning around. Although the Labour manifesto was pretty weak sauce and their first 100 days were rocky, the government are starting to do interesting things (like renationalisation and devolution) that makes me start to feel hopeful again.
Britain is banning conversion therapy. If anything, Trump is going to make it more prevalent.
My daughter is queer.
I'd say staying in the U.S. is a far more tenuous prospect in terms of her safety.
Also, Scotland is the most LGBT-friendly country in Europe. Not sure if I'll end up in Scotland, but that's a good reason to hope so.

Sound like you have a good plan. A little jealous that you can actually leave. Best of luck and make sure to send us a post card.
Thank you. I wish I could take everyone with me.
It’s not great, massively shifted to the right, maybe as much as you, but we aren’t as far along on the scale if you get me?
If it goes horribly wrong, Ireland is right there!
