The South - I live here
I live in a state that can be characterized by racism, lynching, lobotomizing people for being homosexual just 24 years ago.
I feel it as much in MS, but it irritates me that there is this equating of LGBT Southern people as being so idiotic that we enjoy the abuse that homophobes regularly heap on people. We don't.
We simply like where we live, and forget it, if you don't like living in this particular climate, this particular state, or this particular are where your family lives.
We KNOW. We know the people that have suffered, have suffered ourselves, and believe me, we get it.
This thread is on fire.
