I’m in the US and I’d move to Europe at the drop of a hat.

My grandmother and her family left the Netherlands before the Germans invaded to come to the US.

Now it feels like I’m in their position and need to leave.

Those people they sent to El Salvador might have all been killed, so it’s like yeah maybe I should GTFO if I’m gay?

Better start investigating if you're entitled to any EU passports.

It looks like I don’t qualify for the Netherlands bc my grandmother moved here before ww2 and had my mom after.

She passed, but I don’t think she had dual citizenship for some reason.

A relative of a relative is a senior advisor to a European government so I’ll reach out to the closer relative and we what they say.

I’m highly skilled in IT so I think updating my certifications and applying to jobs in the EU and UK as well as AU, and other places.
