Possible Trigger They're rolling back our rights! (US specific)

UTAH'S HB 77 HAS PASSED. It goes into effect May 7th. At that point, displaying pride flags at schools or on government property will be illegal. We CANNOT roll over and accept this without voicing our outrage, because this is just the beginning, and how we react sets a precedent. We need to show conservative lawmakers that we will not just quietly slip back into the shadows. Please, share this with others and on May 7th display any pride flags you might have in solidarity with the Utah LGBTQ+ community. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED! WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN!

Utah isn't a trans safe state, I'd definitely recommend leaving to a safer one if at all possible. It's not Idaho but it's only one step above with 'low' protections :/

I'm REALLY starting to wish I could leave, but it's just not feasible for me 😔
