Idaho's Teacher of the Year flees state after being attacked for LGBTQ+ allyship - LGBTQ Nation

Karen Lauritzen said it has been the hardest year in her 20 years of teaching.

You couldn’t pay me to live in Idaho. Or Florida.
As a Canadian about to be homeless due to housing costs, I’ll take it
I hope you’re white and heterosexual if you’re planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.
I know those are real issues but you are exaggerating
Hate makes a comeback in Idaho, this time with political support • Idaho Capital Sun

Over the past few years, figures from U.S. and world spewing anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic rhetoric have been moving to Idaho.

Rather deal with that than be homeless
Like I said- I hope you’re a white, heterosexual male. Being homeless and alive sounds better to me than being killed inside your home because your neighbors don’t like your color or who you love.
How many times has that happened? The chances of dying in a car crash are higher
Something tells me you have nothing to worry about in Idaho due to the aforementioned reasons. Enjoy your new neighbors.
When you can’t afford housing or groceries these things you are concerned about are on the back burner
If you’re a white heterosexual male, sure.
Then why are these topics not discussed in Africa for example?
Ah, whataboutism, a classic way to avoid confronting your own privilege.
All I am trying to say is that it is definitely appealing that I can afford a roof over my head there lol. You have got to be shitting me if you think on the street in Canada is better
It may very well be better if you’re queer, yes. You’re protected by a human rights charter for being queer in Canada. In Idaho… well, read the article.
If you live on the street you are going to die, full stop
That’s simply not true. There are people who live on the street for years.
Here you will likely freeze to death

Sorry, you think it’s toasty warm in Idaho?

It snows in the summer in Idaho.

No I think I could afford a house in Idaho
No you couldn’t. Prices are going up up there. You sound poor AND stupid. Not a good combo.
I make six figures but thx for the kind words
Because they skip the discussion straight to the part where they kill you for those things.
I am sorry for your situation. Is there an equivalent of Social Services you can contact?
no retard, its not bc he doesnt have a job, its bc of the insane number of third world economic indian immigrants that have been pushed to Canada by Trudeau. The average rent price is through the roof.
Wooooh dude calm down. He was just asking a question
^^ This is how fascism starts

Nah it’s Canada. Regular working people are ending up on the street in droves here due to housing and grocery prices.

Our government cares more about easy talking points like the dude I’m debating with than actual human needs

Hear you.

I’m in the U.S.

I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.

Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.
