When U.S. President Donald Trump decided to seek a second term in the White House, Doris Davis and Susie Bartlett - an interracial lesbian couple living in New York City - made a life-changing decision. If he won, they would move abroad.
The couple said they had been willing to give Trump a go during his first term, but they'd watched in alarm as he returned to office and ended a range of policies aimed at promoting racial equity and rights for LGBTQ+ people.
"We love this country, but we don't love what it has become," Davis, a 69-year-old educational consultant, said from their home in a New York City suburb. "When your identity is being attacked, there is a personal sense of... anger (and) frustration." Now, they're working with an immigration lawyer to assess options in Europe. The couple is most interested in Portugal and Spain, attracted by the southern European lifestyle, and are looking at a digital nomad or retirement visa. Bartlett, who is 52, is retired.
"It saddens me to move," said Davis, who'll be sorry to leave her local community behind. "But it's also a situation, politically and socially, that is unacceptable." Government visa and citizenship data, as well as Reuters' interviews with eight relocation firms, indicate an increased number of Americans are considering moving to Europe in the wake of Trump's election - though the figures remain quite small for a nation of 340 million people.

Goodbye, then.
Wait till they learn about no-go zones.
Yep, shut up and leave.
Well..... Bye!
Don’t let our star spangled door hit ya on your star and sickle spangled ass.
Oh no, how can we possibly survive without another “educational consultant”!
Drama queens started this idiotic nonsense during Nixon
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Wait--what? They're MOVING OUT?
Whatever shall we do?? (Give me some time. I'm making a list. And it's almost as long and as entertaining as the list of what we shall NO LONGER do.)
humorous — enjoy the loss of rights & the blessings of Islam
May they continually generate daft memes for their host country's minorities.
“...an interracial lesbian couple...”

They want to leave?
O.K. then.
And don’t let the door hit on the way out.
Exactly.
I guess if I HAD to leave, I’d move to Texas “It’s a whole ‘nother country”.
Yes,goodbye...can’t say you’ll be missed..
So go Already! If you go to Iberia, better make sure to have a backup generator.
Bye bye, codlappers! Enjoy Yurp. Suggest you avoid the numerous muzzies, if you can; they’re kinda down on lezbos.
Should help solve the housing shortage problem.
