(12,249 posts)I live abroad and Im nervous to go visit my family, as my home is in England and I do not want to be stuck in the US. I had to tell my mother, who is a lesbian, to make sure it is extremely clear what she wants done in the event of emergency, should her marriage become invalid.
My niece and nephew are mixed race.
My uncle and my brother are gay.
I have nieces who might need live-saving abortions some day.
I have friends and colleagues who cannot go visit their families because they are Latin American and afraid to leave the country, lest they not be able to get back in.
I have worked on Mexico and asylum issues for years (and shockingly the whole asylum system has ground to a halt
)
So youll have to excuse me that I have zero fucks left to give for people who voted for this thinking theyd be safe because theyre not like those Mexicans. Fuck that guy and hopefully he keeps his mouth shut about who he voted for, because Mexicans are sick to death of US bullying.
