unless one of the frothing right-wing psychos who's full up on nazi propaganda decides you're a groomer and hate crimes you, which can happen in any state in the u.s.

Or anywhere in the world. Rare events that get heavily reported in the US do not paint the overall picture of LGBT experience.

K link me to the most recent time somebody got murdered in Canada for flying a pride flag since it happens everywhere at the same rate.

Better be in the last week BTW.

The rates are not the same everywhere. Perhaps one of the best reports for what you are looking for can be found from https://transrespect.org/en/press/

It's nice that you link to the site that puts out the trans murder monitoring. You should probably look up how the USA usually scores in that before you embarass yourself further.
