    I’m not even in the US and I’m worrying. Especially due to the fact that I’m both Moroccan and queer (specifically aroace). Guess I’m not visiting the US at all during his term.

        You live in a place where nobody has an issue with not being interested in relationships. But where I live, it’s literally a giant problem.

        Also, yeah I might not get deported, but I could still face arrest, you know. At this point it’s a miracle nobody managed to convince the police that I deserve to be in jail in my country, let alone the US under the new Trump administration.

        And I never wanted to immigrate to the US, I just wanted to drop in and say hi, spend time for a few weeks and leave. That alone requires a visa too, you know. And different countries get different amounts of restrictions. I’m just glad I’m not banned from entry altogether. And even then, facing prejudice is still very possible.

        You quite literally ruined my day.

      Don’t visit us. Don’t travel here. They need to understand there’s financial consequences to making this country unwelcoming.

        This is the advice I’m following. And it’s really sad because I was so interested in seeing the US in person for a really long time. Now some scumbag came to ruin it all.
