My partner and I are trying to raise funds to get out of Florida this Summer. I’m a trans woman and a lesbian, but I’m also a public school teacher in Orlando. I have had indignity upon indignity heaped upon me, and had more and more of my autonomy as an educator stripped away. I stayed even as things started to get bad because I wanted to make a difference. But we’re getting priced out of the city, and some of the things advancing through various state legislatures have made me realize it’s time to get out before it’s too late. We have until June to raise the money to move to Maryland.
