I want to leave this bigoted, homophobic, racist, ignorant town.
The thought that most people around me are like that makes me want to throw up.
Recently I found myself crying like a baby when reading the local news, a litany of hate. And I am a straight white female with a good job, so I DO know I am privileged – they probably think I am on THEIR side. It’s disgusting.

Just one thing has stopped me up to now: my partner has a job he can’t easily find in another city (I do), and he has a chronic disease, and the doctors here know his whole story ever since he was a kid, and cure him the best they can. In short, he wants to stay.
I feel I am heading towards a nervous breakdown. I-must-flee. But I do love my partner. What do I do???

(I even tried to enter local politics, but people like me are an absolute minority here, and we got spit out from the election race pretty early).
