And I live in Oklahoma so, yeah, I'm well aware I'm at risk. My kids are here, in Oklahoma, so I don't want to leave yet, but one of these days I might have to. And I hate it.
We've had this conversation before. Don't leave; Oklahoma needs you!
As of now, my kids need me and that's keeping me here more than anything. If things get too much worse, I might try and skip state anyway; I have friends who tell me Illinois government is pretty LGBT friendly and my employer is based in Chicago so I could talk to someone about a transfer. I've just been struggling and fighting for my own survival and well being and everything for 20 years and I'm tired of fighting for myself; In that state, I'm even less inclined to fight for society at large.
I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto
