Thank you! It took a long time, but life is much better on this side of the mountain! The support from the steemit community has been genuine and plain awesome!
If interested, I had a previous post that got into LGBT anti-discrimination laws in my town (which has been happening in many other cities and states) that then started an uproar from fundamentalists, leading to the repeal 6 months later. It's sad that there's still an argument around not discriminating.
