(16,588 posts)It's soooo cute, in that childlike way of your kid "putting on a play". Portland, Oregon had an openly gay Mayor in 2009, and he rose up like Parker, been elected since 2005.
Aside from that:
"acceptance and understanding and LOVE also exists everywhere too" It's a great message, and it matters. A lot. It's HELLA HARD for GLBTQ folks to find support in the south, but if you can find them before you kill yourself, the south has some of the best GTBTQ networks, but I think this is because the south is so harsh.
It's a bit like claiming the south is a great place for black people, because they've built up so many systems to deal with the hatred, violence, cruelty and oppression, of the south.
It's a bit like claiming you have the best underground railroad.
For GLBTQ.
