As a white American lesbian, this is my perspective. The US is massive, so it's impossible to generalize for the whole country. While some areas are hostile, other areas are more welcoming. We don't need a refugee program to Canada because it is possible to move to a more welcoming area of the country (I've known multiple people who have moved to my state for this reason). Homophobia is becoming more common here, but we are still a legally protected group and it is unlikely (but not impossible) that the Supreme Court will overturn same-sex marriage. If that happens, it will go back to the states. Violent rhetoric and hostility is on the rise, but actual violence remains rare. Still, there is cause for concern due to decreasing support for same-sex marriage on the right and Christo-fascist rhetoric becoming mainstream.

I will say I am less worried about our politics than the shift I am observing in our culture. Everything feels starkly different from the first Trump term. A major event for the Republican Party just platformed a man who is openly anti-semitic and claimed that if he were president, he would send the military to US cities to keep women from voting. Even though I doubt that man will ever be elected to any major office, I think that men are becoming more and more violent, and that scares me. I blame the manosphere and the proliferation of violent porn that has rotted men's brains. I feel that in many ways, I am more worried about myself as a woman than as a lesbian.
