My Husband and I are in a strange situation, after 30 years of being drifters , floating from one country to another mostly in EU , we end up in Sweden because of Covid , France was so aggressive towards people who chose not to vaccinate, we moved there thinking it was cool and welcoming. Massive mistake …. Vile climate , 8 months of darkness…. I won’t bore you with the details but trust me it’s grim ! So now we want to leave …. Having 4 dogs , 2 parrots and a turtle it’s not so easy… I loved Cambodia … but that’s maybe to exotic for hubby and too hot ! Someone suggested Canada but I find their policies towards farmers and people scary …. Euthanasia etc ! So any cool ideas would be appreciated ❤️

In July 2021, I was detained by police officers for practising homosexuality. I believed my future had ended and that my parents would be left with only shame. The officers offered to release me in exchange for a bribe. I had no money. No hope. My only possession was my phone, I handed it over. Under my country's law, Section ***, homosexuality carries a penalty of death or up to 30 years imprisonment. I could not risk either outcome. I consider myself fortunate that it was police officers and not religious vigilantes who detained me. The latter have been known to use lethal violence that I can not imagine to myself. This transaction — exchanging personal property for safety — is a common survival strategy for gay men in my community, but not everyone is lucky enough, I was lucky enough. I did take down my profile picture and alter my name for safety.
