In this powerful interview, Paul – one of our clients who relocated from Texas to a blue state – shares his firsthand experience of why preparation matters. Drawing on his own move, Paul explains why LGBTQ+ individuals and allies living in red states need to think about a “Plan B” now, not later.
From getting passports and wills in order to recognizing the rising risks of scapegoating against the trans and gay communities, Paul delivers clear, actionable advice:
“If you’ve been waiting to press the button to go — press the button.”
“Have an escape plan. And I mean it.”
We also discuss:
How to prepare essential paperwork (passports, wills, vital documents)
What recent events reveal about scapegoating and rising risks
Why safety planning — even down to event logistics — is critical
Lessons learned from unexpected threats, doxxing, and open carry encounters at public events
If you’re wondering whether to stay or leave a red state, or you’re ready to start planning your next steps, this interview will give you practical tools and candid insight to help you make informed decisions.
Watch now and learn how to stay prepared. Don’t wait — take action today.
