I learned recently that several of my family members voted for Trump. I was devastated to learn that people who were close with the politically aware and outspoken women of my family, and the queer individuals in my family, would so comfortably vote to strip them of their rights. Luckily my immediate family is far more sensible, but I wish all of my family was. It got me thinking about how unlucky so many others must be in comparison. So, I want to remind everyone who is stuck with families voting against them…
IT IS NOT WRONG TO CUT OFF FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WILL TEAR YOU DOWN!
Some of you have the luxury of being able to distance yourself from those family members. If you do, absolutely take advantage of that luxury. Those of you who can’t, online communities are filled with wonderful people who can empathize with you.
Best of luck to all of you dealing with the negative repercussions of others’ ignorance this election. Stay safe, stay informed, and stay unified.
Fuck America
