“This is a state that recently voted against adding LGBTQ people to a list of protected classes. You can be fired for being gay here. Or evicted. It happens all the time. People get married on the bridge between Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota. Queer kids here, many of whom grow up without ever knowingly knowing a queer person, feel incredibly isolated and, because of the legality of discriminatory practices here, have a brave few people to look up to.”
