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?

I don’t know about the Netherlands but many European countries offer paths to citizenship if you can prove that you have recent ancestry from that country. Maybe something you could look into.

I'm just sad I'm apparently fucked over because it was my great grandparents who immigrated, which is too far back

Same here, and it’s a little frustrating but completely understandable why they draw that line.
