It breaks my heart to know that I'm so unwelcome in my own country. So far I've wanted to leave for an opportunity at a better life, because it's becoming impossible to be well off financially here. But now I want to leave out of fear for my safety. This enables homophobic and transphobic attacks.

I'm out publicly, people know of my identity. I live in a small town inna bigoted country, it was dangerous enough already to come out like this. But now? Now that the aggressive people see that the government is with them? Now I'm truly terrified. I can only hope I will be lucky enough not to be targeted, but I know many, many others will become victims. This is not okay.

It just adds insult to injury that they do this during pride month of all times.

I've already started saving up to move away from here, so if you wish to donate and help me get the money faster, my paypal is linked here.

A law passed in Hungary that basically makes being LGBTQ+ illegal in public. And that in the context of an anti-pedophilia law. You're not allowed to talk to children and teens up to the age of 18 about LGBTQ+ things "in order to protect the children".

So basically wherever a child can hear you or see you, or read things, it's illegal to show signs of LGBTQ+ related things. And let's be fucking honest cause that's basically everywhere.

You're not even allowed to hold hands with your same sex partner in public, because children could see it. You're not allowed to dress like your preferred gender, you're not even allowed to basically be transgender.

you're not allowed to exist as the person you are.

How can you help, you ask?

Hi everyone, it's not easy for me to do this but I really need help moving out of my current toxic home. I'm Wes, a transmasc nonbinary canto-american artist and writer that wants to find a home where I can feel safe and happy. Please read, donate, and share.
