Along with its warning on Tuesday, the HRC released a guidebook with summaries of laws in each state, "know your rights" information and resources for LGBTQ+ travelers as well as those already living in so-called hostile states.

Desperately trying to get my ass out of the south right now. Been working on it for almost a year. I was about at the point where I was going to just load up my car and drive until I hit a blue state, and figure out the rest later. Better to be a refugee now, before the brownshirts start bringing out the bloodhounds.

Fortunately, I think I have something lined up now (tentatively), but god damn it's terrifying down here.

I just fled the South. No one in my family understands why. They tell me nothing bad will happen; I am overreacting. Nah, fam. I see the writing on the wall. I'm out. It took three years of my savings, but I couldn't handle it. Good luck to you. I wish you all the best and hope you can move soon!
