There’s now a lawsuit in Texas challenging PREP. How much longer do y’all plan to live in the US? This is actually how I predicted this would unfold. That folks with moral objections would file a lawsuit like this, and then get it up to The Church for review, and then overturn Lawrence v Texas. This is just happening a lot faster than I thought.

I thought it would be a couple more years before the systemic dismantling of LGBTQ rights started, leaving more time to prepare. When Dobbs was filed I predicted Roe would be overturned. And, Lawrence v Texas would make its way to the SC via a “moral objection” vehicle such as a Dr or employer not wanting to pay for PREP. Having said that — TX will use “health, welfare, and safety” combined with “religious freedom” as the rationale to outlaw PREP, and put anti-sodomy laws back on books. They will do the same with birth control pills as well, overturning Griswold v CT. We will then have free states and states where intimate relations are regulated be it straight people wanting birth control pills/condoms or gays wanting prep. Felony jail time will be justified, or worse. Right now in the US it is unconstitutional to execute our citizens absent high treason or pre meditated murder. That could easily change at the whim of The Church. Those 9 “people” are all that stand before us being executed or not.

Or, alternatively, you who live in red states for the tax low taxes can spend some of that money to organize those red states and register voters to get them out to vote. Or join school boards. Or run for local office.

Just a thought …

Well, sorry if that came off mean. But you asked how much longer we plan to live in the US like it was a foregone conclusion we had to leave.

Great for you living in a blue island in a Red Sea. There are purple pockets, I guarantee you, where your lawyer $ can help flip red seats blue.

I live in New York. 15 years ago we had a three term R Gov and a red state senate. We worked HARD to flip state leg seats and support down ballot candidates and it’s paid off.

My point is that rather than abandoning ship, you should focus on where you can help first.

I know people don’t want to hear that, because nothing is less sexy than supporting county legislature candidates or school board candidates, but it is what we have to do.

For now, I'm staying in states and cities that, at least so far, are unlikely to backslide. But I definitely am contemplating whether I should try to get licensed as an attorney in Canada, or make aliyah to Israel.

I truthfully hope the suit will be tossed out on its face. I’m not ready to pack my bags just yet. But it is indeed concerning.

If it makes it up to The Church for review … we are in big trouble.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
