I can’t imagine the fear I’d have in their situation. I’d probably do something similar.

Though if we’ve learnt anything from history it’s that their friends and co-workers will out them to the booted thugs at the drop of a hat anyway.

So maybe I’d go for the ‘flame while I can’ approach.

Don’t need to go that far. Most Americans can’t quit their job for fear of loosing medical coverage.

I’d calm that indentured servitude with a couple extra steps.

Agree entirely on the value judgement but it’s not a right if a single party can remove it.

It should have been written into the damn constitution with an ammendment along with bodily autonomy for women. But that would have taken some guts and foresight by the democratic leaders.

Now it’s too late.

Initially just the rights gained by it removed. Any tax benefits, recognition of dependent status, military spouse stuff etc etc.

Later a list will be created and distributed.

The public will be encouraged to refuse service to openly gay people. From there it’s a quick ride to imprisonment and reeducation until it’s similar to Saudi Arabia. Then who knows.
