Escape Routes from US Republican Hate States

11/09/2022

Bob McCranie is a realtor and estate agent who is not waiting for things to get any worse in the US state of Texas for women, minorities or particularly LGBTQIA people. His company, Texas Pride Reality, is working with estate agencies in other parts of the US to offer LGBTQIA Texans a route to leave the state, which has always been dominated by Republicans, but has now descended into Christian extremism. Talking to Pink News, McCranie says “I just was like, ‘these people need help now’. They need help now. This is not a ‘maybe someday it’s gonna get bad’ thing, this is how it currently is.” His scheme to assist families leaving Texas has now been extended to encompass all the red states, where civil liberties are curtailed and religious fundamentalism is rife. McCranie says “Some people will look at this and go, ‘well, he’s just a realtor trying to make money’... And yes, I have to pay my bills. But this is about our people. This is about what it’s going to be like in five years if we don’t do something now… I am just a student of history, and I just look at what’s going on.” https://www.texaspriderealty.com/fleeredstates/
