I was in college and living with a bisexual Saudi friend at the time. I’m a straight white man, so I wasn’t a target, but he absolutely was. I sat with him in the kitchen while we got drunk and he cried.

The good news is he made it through fine and I think is doing well today still in the US. It’s going to suck, but most of us are probably going to survive this. Don’t give up all hope. Build your community, organize, join mutual aid groups, and build what we need to take back power in the future.

They’re going to try to take us backward, but make them take us kicking and screaming. Don’t give up and let them have it for free.
