Where to go from here? (pawb.social)

The US seems to turn red. While I am living in Europe I am already wondering where I should go. Is there somewhere in this world where being LGBTQ is not a constant battle and where it will likely stay that way? Because typically the insanity coming from the US swaps over to EU and many states here are already on their way to fascism on their own.

It is mostly about feeling safe with my chosen family and being able to actually plan a life. As of now I see basically no point in planning any part of my future as it feels as if any plan I could make could be disrupted at any moment.

I know this is a hard ask, since no one can see into the future. It is essentially a question that should not exist. Where do I go and can actually live 50-60 years without the fear of getting killed by an angry mob at some point? Where do I go where this question is not part of the equation?

Ideally that country also should still exist, as climate change will swallow some countries as well.

In that case, it's less about the country, and more about how large and diverse the specific city is. I live in Austria, which is super conservative and Catholic, but Vienna is, as far as I can tell, a great place for what you described. I'm sure the same exists within many other countries as well.
