Thank you! I have seen my state sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. My ancestors purchased and settled several hundred acres here in NY in 1790. My family still lives in the area and in one of the last conservative parts of the state. It’s beautiful here. But we feel powerless except for a few locally controlled things. Probably leaving soon when we can. Incidentally, I know a woman through work that is marrying another woman this summer. They attempted to plan their ceremony at a certain place that said no. At least they said “ok it’s against your religious views†and moved on. Why would a person want to get married where they aren’t welcome? That never made sense to me. When Ted Cruz talked about NY values and people acted shocked, nobody here in NY was. We all know what he meant.
