(Washington Stand) In John 17, Jesus prayed that His followers would be sanctified — set apart — by God’s truth. Throughout history, that truth has distinguished those who embrace it from those who reject it. Today, that separation is increasingly evident in America.
A Washington Post article this week, entitled “Trans people are fleeing red states for Seattle. The city can’t keep up,” cited a NORC poll suggesting that 400,000 transgender adults left red states in the six months following the 2024 election, with another 1.2 million reportedly considering relocating to states that actively affirm transgender policies.
The article highlights Crow Harmony, a 21-year-old transgender male, and his boyfriend, who had also transitioned. If you’re confused about what that makes them, you’re not alone, but just put that aside. The article goes on to say that this “couple” had no money, no employment prospects, and had lost their housing before leaving Florida for what they believed would be the safety of Seattle.
