Yeah I moved from Texas to Oregon years ago and that's the main reason why. It's just not safe in areas like that for queer people. I hope your friends stay safe and are doing okay after that.

At least one of them is just not leaving the house for the time being. It's tempting to do the same thing but I need to at least leave for groceries and shit. Can't afford delivery.

edit: I should also mention I live in a state where they are legislating away treatment for both adults and minors and we're just hoping the courts can come through eventually with protecting us.

I'm really sorry to hear that, it's a horrible thing that's happening and I hope the courts come through for you and your friends safety.

Elevated Access can help you get out to a free state for medical care. Volunteer hobby pilots, donating their time and planes. https://www.elevatedaccess.org/

In some areas there are volunteer drivers to help you get from home to the airport and the airport to the clinic, as well.
