I know :( I feel so bad for queer people in West Virginia. WV is one of the places I desperately want to visit. It’s so so so beautiful and I feel bad for queer people there because it’s got to be rough trying to figure out if you should leave the only place you’ve ever known, and a place so gorgeous, but with a government so bad, or stay and deal with the horrible government
i love it here, i love the environment and the people. but goddamn the people in charge enrage me. we’ve had a corrupt government pretty much since the state was founded. literally they’re so bad, they’ve got to be cheating in the elections somehow. our governor is trying to dismantle the public education system and succeeding. data centers are going up and destroying the environment. a lot of folks don’t even have clean running water. it’s so bad. i don’t want to leave my home :(
