LGBTQ+ Americans are organizing disaster protection for each other as political weather worsens.By Audrey GrayWe were bombing up I-10 over Lake Pontchartrain, one week to the day after Hurricane Francine passed the same way with its tempest winds and a month’s worth of rain. Chenier “Klie” Kliebert, a Native New Orleanian so many generations back the family had lost count, drove comfortably while I sat shotgun and wide-eyed at the utter lack of land beneath the highway. A waterworld in all directions. Only pilings and trust held us up.
