Move to Canada?
To all my GLBT friends in California who want to live somewhere that respects them, there’s always Canada.
Canada wants immigrants. Here’s the funny version; here’s the serious version.
Do think carefully, however. Canada is not the US. There are some
subtle but important differences in the culture, outlook, and
priorities. They are not better or worse in one country or the other,
they are different. Exceptions: it is easier to shop in the US and the
Canadian governments have better customer service.
If you are thinking about emigrating to British Columbia, I’d be happy to talk to you about it.
Update: Here’s a blog post by an American lesbian talking about what it’s like to live in a country where she and her partner are fully completely legally married.

The Cute Boy is constantly frustrated by government customer service in Canada. Apparently, it’s appalling compared to his Aussie home. It makes me really wonder what their system will be like (although my current impression is, “It’s really helpful if you don’t know what’s going on, and REALLY ANNOYING if you do”).
