I imagine you've likely finished your article, but if you do any more work I would be happy to share what I have found, or pass on anything else that may be helpful!

I am very much just a lay person who has been doing a ton of research, trying to find what basics I can and point people towards those starting points/give them an idea of where to find things/encourage people to reach out to any of the free expert resources that are available.

I am so sorry I didn't see this! I had been working on a long form video so hadn't been on bluesky, and I imagine you've likely finished your article by now. If you are looking for an expert on seeking asylum/how Americans could do it, I recommend reaching out to The 519 or Battista Migration Law

FYI the resources aren't only for 2SLGBTQ+ Americans, it started focusing on resources for the Trans and Non Binary community, expanded from there. There's now something for most everyone, I just haven't been able to figure out how to change the title yet.
