The dance I linked above perhaps reflects my feelings best.

Being gay in The States is not fun, Nor is trans, we're all on the run. No wedding, no loo. We're back in the zoo. All THEY want is their effing gun!!! My gay friends and I are in pain. Years of fight now all seem in vain. Gay weddings turned void, We're all so annoyed, It's all loss, where it should have been gain. Let's join hands with great force, move away From the bigotry, hate and dismay. Let children be free To choose who to be. Let peace and acceptance please stay. *** Written for my friends in the US, who fear the fanatics and bigots after this election outcome.

That is true Jan, I face it so often myself, but for my friends it's like they suddenly lost solid ground under their feet, hugs, Darren.
