The fact that they used a quote from a trans woman in an article about trans issues already puts them above NY Times

Seattle is good. Tacoma is cheaper and also good. Probably not cheaper than Texas, but everyone is welcome.

Been seeing more trans people in my travels, but idk if that’s due to influx or people just feeling more comfortable.

Austin is definitively less weird than it used to be, and it makes me sad. People are people, dammit!

Please come to Seattle, it is delightful here and more lgbtq people are always welcome.

Welcome to Seattle, new neighbors!

I saw the writing on the wall seventeen years ago and at 40 moved with my husband (we're a gay couple) and our then 5 yr old daughter to Northampton, Massachusetts. We had lived in Texas our entire lives (I'm from Ft Worth, he's from Abilene), so we were no strangers to racism. But the racism that came out during Obama's first presidential run told me it was time to flee. Texas was certainly no place we wanted to raise our daughter. We wound up moving to Vermont a couple of years later. And eventually we settled in upstate NY in 2016. We prefer the more liberal New England states but cannot afford them. Upstate NY gives us a reasonable cost of living, along with all the lgbtq state protections that put our minds at rest. Well, as 'at rest' as one can be with Cankles McTaco Tits in the Oval Office right now.

Most people find Houston, Texas to be hostile.

Just driving on Westheimer is enough to make rational people leave.

Here’s hoping all the talent like Victoria abandons Texas and makes the Zodiac State insolvent.

Houston has so much going for it what with all the petrochemical factories providing spicy air for you and all the crime, heat and flooding adding adventure to your day.

Were I live is very accepting of LGBTQ issues/people also:

I'm a middle class white cis male and I fleed Texas last year. I can't imagine what it must be like for LGBTQ people there.

Yeppppp. I personally know three people who moved out of Texas specifically to get away from their abhorrent legislation.

"Trans people. We are legion. Expect us."

We need to move as many people as we can over here and fast. Not just Seattle, the entire West Coast should be a haven. Oregon is. I'd skip Northern California to Central Oregon though. Also anything east of the Cascades is bat shit right wing.
