looking to flee the red states below you (lemm.ee)

I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.

I need to get out.

I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?

I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.

I suggest going to Southeast Asia instead. tickets are a couple hundred, everybody is really cool about genders and pretty much everything else there, everything is cheap, you can live indefinitely on tourist visas and if you need money you can always teach English.

Try and apply as a refugee.

My fear is that will take more time than I have.
