Election Result

Hello, I am the proud parent of LGBTQ children. While driving today, I heard the news of the call and nearly crashed, because of my tears of joy. I can finally breathe a little bit. I was truly scared for my children if 45 was re-elected I was considering sending my children to Ireland. Since both my parents were born there, my children have right of return with no strings attached. BTW, who would have guessed they would be more progressive than us?

To all the parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and all other family members of LGBTQ family, CELEBRATE today.

With much love, from Ohio.

We weren't sure where we could go but we felt we weren't welcome nor safe here. My daughter's final reassignment surgery is scheduled for next year and we're still worried about the fate of Obamacare with this SC. But, we feel safer today. We're so thankful. We're celebrating with you!
