   I understand the politics at play in appearing friendly to the USA at a national level, but any recruiter in a LGBTQIA friendly nation that is not at least shooting a discreet shot at queer American high-demand scientific, medical, and tech professionals is missing a huge opportunity.

     Like incredibly high demand people are willing to take a substantial pay cut for a visa, even a temporary visa. Especially if they can bring a family. I’m in the back rooms. This is like nothing I’ve seen in America before.

     @hacks4pancakes @knbrindle big respect. But, 1933, better safe than sorry.

     @knbrindle I think the kids make it the hardest. I’m selling my house and starting over with a pallet and a few suitcases. Basically nothing, just to get out.

     @hacks4pancakes My partner is a math professor. I'm a licensed therapist. On paper, we should be in high-demand, but we also have 2 kids (11 & 13), a mortgage, etc, and moving to another country is an enormous upheaval (as you well know). We'd need some degree of job equivalency waiting for us to avoid massive disruption or a dance with poverty on the other end. Even *with* a guarantee of jobs, it would be incredibly hard, but we'd try, I think

     @hacks4pancakes a mid-sized country could build an entire high-tech sector just from US expats right now
