A gay doctor who is one of Louisiana’s only specialist paediatric cardiologists has left the state after the introduction of a Don’t Say Gay copycat bill and a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Jake Kleinmahon, who was one of just three doctors specialising in heart transplants for children in Louisiana, chose to leave the state with his family, as they no longer felt safe.
Kleinmahon met and fell in love with his husband Tom in New Orleans, and the couple expected remain in Louisiana, even after retirement. However, he told CNN that the state’s anti-LGBTQ+ legislation made him and his family feel unwelcome and that he ultimately “didn’t have a choice”.
What a coward for running away
What a display of bravery saying this behind your keyboard on an anonymous platform.
Annnnd that’s a block
We can’t all be heroes like you.
What would you do on his position? If you stay in a state which you and your family aren’t protected by?
Why would a highly trained and sought after person care about some hillbillies?
Hey did what every reasonable person would do and said fuck off.
