queer people are getting the short end of the stick again so we'd appreciate some help in our move 🙏
Hi! we're Niya and Charley, a bisexual Russian woman and lesbian American enby living in Batumi, Georgia, for the past two years. We've been in a loving relationship for 8 year now.
Our original plan was for Niya to get a fiancée Visa to move to the US, but that was placed on hold indefinitely due to the pandemic and a certain Russian territorial conflict making it difficult for Russians to obtain a visa through embassies.
At the time, Georgia seemed like the best alternative, and, as charming as our stay has been for the most part, it is increasingly becoming unsafe for LGBT couples.
A new bill was passed trying to make "LGBT propaganda" illegal, which in Niya's experience as a Russian, means "anything they don't like, they can claim is illegal". While Georgia's president does plan to veto this bill, it has been stirring up anger and unnecessary attention to queer people regardless and led to a spike in discriminatory violence already.
Even before things got this bad, Charley has had rocks thrown at them, screamed at, and been refused entry to public places for wearing normal feminine clothes.
We are currently looking into moving to Mexico, as that is another place both of us have easy access to a half year visa.
Moving countries has never been an easy decision, but we've done it before, and with your help, we can do it again, for the sake of our safety.

song about something you'll never be forgiven for.
beepbox link here, and a singalong under the read more :''-)
starting point
"…so don't look back"
i took your hand and led you astray
into the light i fear i might have made
a fatal mistake
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
i couldn't ask
i only hope that sinners are saved
but in all honesty, my honor keeps me
somewhat afraid
walk in a straight line
don't dare look behind
♫♫♫
i had a dream
we tried to reach the finishing line
but in the silence still the time we killed
had come back to life
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
the signs had merged
into a single "end of the world"
where every undead thing was damned to sing
"esrever ni gnos a"
walk in a straight line
…tell me that you're fine
♫♫♫
walk in a straight line (walk in a straight line)
don't dare look behind (don't dare look behind)
tell me that you're fine (something that had died)
you're still breathing right? (are you satisfied?)
walk between the lines (how to save a life)
don't dare look behind (change the ending line)
reach the end this time (tell a little lie)
bring me back to life…
♫♫♫
if i'd look back
and held the hands that led me astray
into the light i'd proudly cry
"this is my final mistake"
walk with me this time
walk with me this time
i should have asked
i know the answer's somewhat cliché
but was it worth the price and worth the pain?
you're fading away—
walk with me this time
bring me back to life…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if you'd look--
read an article that the philippines may be close to legalising divorce despite the catholic church fighting tooth and nail to prevent it, it's amazing how around the whole world you can find them in the trenches of the war on human misery on the side of the misery. they interviewed a nun who does counseling for abused wives and 'still' speaks out against divorce and like, well, any savvy business will do whatever it can to create conditions that drive people to its product plus it's not like your stooges have any skin in the game if you do religious celibacy. not that surprising
