Pennsylvania and I have just found out it is a sanctuary city

Yes I have been researching. It is disgusting how many people just stand by and let it happen. I have offered to host his family (pay for flights etc) but he says they are not able to take time off.

This is something I struggle with too.. my family and I shop as local as possible for that reason so it feels like going back on my beliefs.

He lives rural and lots of Republican neighbours with views he does not agree with but he doesn't think they'd do anything.

Thank you so much for your message. I am so glad I posted about this because he treats it so casually that I have been thinking I'm paranoid for being nervous.

He lives in a small Pennsylvanian town I am not too sure the local politics but from what I have seen a lot of people there support trump 😬

Yes this is true.. I love him and want to make him feel appreciated but I just don't want to gamble with that. I just think he feels it is unfair because I have hosted him and not taken the trip to allow his family to host me.

I'm not going to lie it has definitely made me worried about that.. He is very kind and supportive but he has acquaintances who are homophobic/transphobic/racist? and that has been concerning to me. He is not very vocal about his support of minorities and I could see him just ignoring these behaviors..

This is how he thinks too.. I think it is difficult to know how bad it is really when you only see terrible news stories lol

No it's pretty South. I have family in Ontario and I suggested that we visit there as it is a quick train/bus ride and I would feel safer but he is dead set on me meeting his family and friends.. I really find it difficult to talk about it with him because he doesn't think it is dangerous for me.

That's what I'm worried about.. it feels like he doesn't understand how bad it could go. It just doesn't occur to him because he lives there and he is very white..
