It’s really damn sad that we’re at this place. It’s sad for everyone involved. His patients lose a great provider, and his family has to leave the place they know and love. I know it’s nothing new, but it pains me to see LGBT people be driven out of the places they want to live.

We are everywhere. We always have been, and we always will be, no matter what the homo- and transphobes think. The enemy wants us to push us around at their whims, but they don’t want to acknowledge that we deserve happiness and safety wherever we are.
