"When my kids were fifteen and twelve, we lived through a period during
which the Russian government was threatening to take children away from
queer parents, and, specifically, threatening to go after my kids. I
sent my son, who is adopted, to boarding school in the United States
while the rest of us got ready to emigrate. My biological daughter was
less at risk, perhaps even at no risk, and yet the question of whether
social services would come knocking sent me into a panic."

Via Esther Wojcicki, who wrote: "Russia does it and now we are doing it
at the Mexican border. Are we now a terrorist state?" and Mari Thomas.
