> For LGBTQ+, asylum is the likely option

Do you have any data points on this, I remember reading that some Americans have tried applying for asylum in Canada, but no one has ever been accepted.




I do not, because there haven’t been sufficient points shared reflecting US -> Elsewhere asylum seekers outside of High Value Assets (think Snowden). That said, I have heard anecdotally that the Canadian government would consider LGBTQ status for asylum - though again, a US Citizen seeking asylum is a relative novelty in general, so I have no concrete data.

As with all plans, this will not withstand enemy contact. You will need to adapt it to survive as required.

I just honestly hope it doesn’t get to that point.
