No question. And we are doing that. But it’s an uphill battle. Doesn’t help that she’s half-Jewish, I’m Jewish and my wife, daughter and I are all atheists. We are threatened so many ways from the Mike Johnsons of this country gaining power.
I got your back even though I’m in Canada. Similar situation without the gay. My ex is Jewish. I have one kid with type 1 diabetes. 2 with autism. Daughter has a best friend who’s gay.
The world is marching towards a dangerous place that only sees value in the hegemony. Diversity like us is feared. Then throw in the “evil jew” on top.
Your daughter is fortunate to have you. While it shouldn’t be the case, there are a whole lot of parents who wouldn’t support their kids if they were LGBT.
As much as we like to criticize the US, Americans generally will not stand for the mistreatment of our fellow Americans. Throughout history, the government and some other Americans have tried to go so, and every time, Americans standing in solidarity with each other have won out.
So, if Republicans dare to try anything, give a holler, and we’ll remind Johnston and his ilk that “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” applies to more than just guns, and we will make sure they’re intimately aware of that.
Seriously though, don’t hesitate to call out for help here. If things get that bad, I think several people here will have your back.
EU countries are very difficult to migrate to. Their standards for residency are just not possible for most of us. I’ve desperately wanted to become an EU resident/citizen for the last 30 years, but simply do not meet the criteria for any of the countries.
But thank you very much for the welcoming invitation.
Some EU countries have pathways to citizenship/residency, but they are not easy. Such a path will usually involve being hired by a local company to do some type of specialized work that cannot be hired for locally. A highly skilled tech job is usually what that looks like. The other option for some countries (like Spain or Portugal) is to be wealthy and purchase a large amount of real estate in the country.
There was a subreddit called Amerexit that was an excellent resource for this information. I haven’t seen anything similar on Lemmy, though. If you see such a community, let me know!
My 13-year-old daughter like girls much more than boys.
I’m fucking terrified that he’s in power.
Fight back. Organize. Vote.
That may not be enough.
Probably won’t be. But if you can’t move you have to fight

I appreciate it. Thanks!
It will, however, be far better than not doing anything.
We still gotta try.
I’m not saying don’t try.
I’m gonna say emphasis on the fight. Let’s build a club.
With like metal spikes all over the end of it for maximum damage?

We’re not supposed to talk about that!
First rule of metal spikey end club.
Had us in the first half.
Come to Europe.
Pick one of those dark blue ones:

We can’t afford to move to another town, let alone another country.

Any of these have easy citizenship or legal resident process?

I can’t blame her. Have you seen boys lately? They’re fucking awful
As a former one myself… teenage boys have always been fucking awful.
