Realtor helps LGBTQ+ Texans leave state through ‘rainbow Underground Railroad’
KFOR ^ | 6/15/2023 | By Will DuPree

“I don’t feel like Texas is my home anymore,” Lewis said simply.

He ended up selling his home through a real estate service launched last summer by the Dallas-based broker, Bob McCranie, who sought to help LGBTQ+ people list their homes in Texas and then connect them with an agent in another state or even a different country where they’d like to go next. McCranie initially called it “Flee Texas,” but soon changed the name to reflect a broader group of people expressing interest in the service.

“What we discovered was we got so much response from other states that we decided to expand and become ‘Flee Red States,'” McCranie said Tuesday. “We’ve helped 27 groups of people so far get out.”

When someone goes to the website FleeRedStates.com, a message reads, “As LGBTQIA+ citizens in Red States, many of us feel at risk. Current laws are highly discriminatory against trans youth and their families. Our marriages, our families, and even our safety are at risk. If you feel the need to leave the jurisdiction of a Red State, let us help you sell your property here and connect with you an LGBTQIA+ or ally agent in a better location of your choice. We are licensed in Texas and we have affiliates in all 50 states and several countries.” People can share their contact information to create an account and start the process of connecting with a real estate expert.

“We’re calling it kind of the ‘rainbow Underground Railroad,'” McCranie said. “We’re trying to get people out quietly and get them to someplace where they feel safer.”

I’ll give him that. It’s a great way to create a lot of mindshare and name recognition in a niche segment. There’s a lot of blacks who seem upset about this on Twitter though. LOL.

Stunts like this set up The Big Lie propaganda.

They’re trying to make you believe that for some strange reason, conservatives won’t let self-described victims move.

Watch out, people. Don’t let them establish the Big Lie.

Depending on Texas real estate law, he could be in violation of the law concerning steering/panic selling. You can’t ethically steer anyone of a protected status away from any real estate or “section of town.”

Example: “You don’t want to live here because THOSE people are here/moving here.”

This was used a lot by unscrupulous real estate agents/investors trying to clear out a section of people (usually to get whites to move out or keep blacks in “their” part of town) to clean up the real estate at a discounted price.

Hell, no need to sneak out. If they don’t feel wanted, they are free to leave. No one is going to try to force them to stay.

that’s what I thought too. They are comparing issues with “LGBT” peoples, with slavery? They are saying that “LGBT” type peoples, need to “escape”, need to “flee”, need to “secretly move away”?????

They are as free to relocate as you or I, if they want to go live anywhere else in America. This whole story of a specialty realtor helping “LGBT” types secretly flee, makes very little sense.

If somebody such as “LGBT” want to move, go ahead and move to California or some other liberal state. Nobody is stopping you.

“...FREE to just walk out...”

Heck, most of us Texans will help them pack! I’ll even help them load the dang U-Haul!

Bye! Have fun! Good luck! Sayonara!

My view of the trans problem may not sync with the majority of Freepers, but quite frankly, if .38% of the population wants to pretend to be a male, female, dolphin, turnip or whatever, I don’t really care as long as (1) they are legal adults; (2) they don’t try to normalize their lifestyle (such as criminalizing the use of a singular pro-noun to refer to a singular person); and (3) most importantly, they don’t try to groom and indoctrinate children and give them a protected right to dangerous and often irreversible gender altering treatments.

Think of it this way: The government has decided that people under the of 21 are not mature enough to make decisions regarding tobacco and alcohol use and that teenage criminals should not be prosecuted for criminal acts because the human brain is not developed until the age of 25. Yet, young teems and younger should be able to mutilate their wee wees and pee pees because when little Johnny wore his grandma’s sweater or little Jane liked to play with Tonka trucks.

I agree, I think Bobbie could do much better. She could move more malcontents faster than her current rate.

I heard that California needs their U Haul trucks back. And they rent them cheap going from Dallas to LA.

“Underground Railroad?” You mean the interstate?

Texas tries to stop LUGBUTS from leaving the state? Do they have checkpoints searching vehicles for fleeing LUGBUTS?

Actually, your view I believe is with the MAJORITY of Freepers.

1) Legal adults can do what they wish! Once you are an adult, you can be as crazy and stupid as you can legally afford - not my clowns, not my circus.
2) Don’t make me participate in your delusions! If you want to play make-believe, go ahead; but I do not have to play along.
3) Leave the kids alone! Indoctrination and forced acceptance is simply NOT the job of our public school system (of course, they have been doing that for quite a while, but that still is NOT their actual job).

I bet a clear majority of Freepers have this mentality.

Barf-o-Rama.

Yes, because those homos are all being kept in place to do hetero bidding, and part of that is to be their punching bags!

So, basically this realtor boss is Uncle Tom?
