to do what you are considering. They think it might take them two moves--one out of the south where LGBTQ are demonized--
and then out of the country.

My husband and I have considered moving as far away as we could get--Hawaii--from the gun nuts, bigots and hate-filled white supremacists.
We don't have the energy or patience to start anew in another country (and Canada doesn't want retirees).

Personally, I think we are facing very dark days in this country.
