kindaafraid

Hi again, thanks for all the support everyone! I guess I just need to think of it as this way: If I can survive fascism within my country for a long period of time, I sure can survive Trump's government if I ever get the opportunity, right? I mean, compared to SCOTUS, my country's constitutional court is mostly filled with incompetent lawyers, and one of them recently got convicted in a corruption case. Last year, they even tried to pass a law to criminalize LGBT people (still ongoing). Unsurprisingly, the only sane judge is the one and only female judge (cues Beyoncé - "Run the World (Girls)" tune). @minakoruk and @Slowly: With Erdoğan and Duterte in power, I suppose the US is still a relatively better place than our home country? I'm not saying it's going to be a smooth process, but seeing ACLU and the wave of protests keep fighting the good fight, I sincerely hope the sense of freedom in the US that I long for will put back into its place. (Also @Slowly, I've read somewhere that Filipinos' attitude towards LGBT people are way more favorable than its neighboring countries, is that true according to your firsthand experience? If so, that's amazing!) Anyway, best of luck to you all in this application season! Come on Americans, you can do it!
