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.”

Well-bye...

This is wonderful news-maybe some straight dems/libs will be so offended by the parents having the right to protect their cubs that they will leave, too-no need to leave quietly-we don’t want their whiney asses here in the 1st place, so just go-to Cali, maybe Seattle or Portland-they will welcome them there...

Maybe that “leaving quietly” BS is to enhance/increase that realtor’s business as being somehow exclusive-or maybe the trans loons that are leaving want it on the down-low so their neighbors won’t all come over to give them a proper send-off with shouted insults, carrying signs, throwing rotten tomatoes, etc...

LOL, every guy knows the score when another guy gets called a pussy...

But sucking a lemon???? I mean, I heard “Squeeze a lemon” which appears to refer in slang to the act of urination, but never sucking a lemon. One can only imagine.

On the other hand, perhaps they just haven’t gotten around to zotting the post!

Blond hair, blue eyes. Put a black Hugo Boss outfit on him, and he could be a poster boy for the SS.

I’ve begun calling out these people when I hear them implying the Big Lie. They always do it parenthetically.

So far, my opponent abandons the discussion.
