Reading that article, I also found myself saying "Oh hey, that looks similar enough to comfort food, and like home -- oh, uh". It is different in a lot of ways, of course, but it is a hard circle to square, given how firmly I believe in my chosen SF/queer/left culture.
A friend (another FSU queer person that I met at a party for queer people...) introduced me to a Facebook group for liberal Former Soviet Union immigrants/children of immigrants, which has been surprisingly healing, and I wonder if something like that exists, or could exist, for Polish Americans.
>> But there's a part of me who finds a liberal Catholic who's pro-choice and is actually quite good on trans rights really strongly appealing.
I think that's a reasonable emotion to feel actually!
