My partner and I fled the US early this year. No regrets. Besides saving our own skin because I would 100% end up in a concentration camp, we're now in a really good position to help others in our community find a way to safety.

We also love our new country and feel super welcomed

How are you feeling about the community you left behind? That's a big concern for us, but fleeing is a big option on the table.

Oh my God I left behind a massive community, I miss them every day. I hallucinate that I see my friends all around the city. I'm still in contact with them and have video calls with them every now and then just to say hi

I had a HUGE going away party too. About 60 people showed up.
