Dear friend,

Did you know that lawmakers in Russia's cultural capital of Saint Petersburg are about to pass a law that would make it a "crime" to write a book, publish an article or speak in public about being gay, lesbian, bi or transgender - labeling it "homosexual propaganda"?

I just joined thousands in signing

Your Tumblr post was the first place I saw this - and went WTF. Honestly, every time I look around someone is trying to take someone's basic rights. It's ridiculous.

To be perfectly frank, I'm trying to convince my husband we should move to Europe. TN, a state I live an hour from, is looking to pass similar state wide legislation. I'm starting to become afraid to live in my country, as a bisexual woman. I don't have a penis, so I don't have a right to my body. I am bisexual, so I don't have a right to exist.

Thank God I'm white or at least I look white, I'm actually half latina, but whatever, or I might as well just go ahead and shoot myself in the head.

Actually I've been thinking the next time I'm in England I should look you up. >_>

I typically spend some time around the Cambridge area once every couple of years because that's where my husband is from.
