(22,057 posts)40. Very hard question-overall rural Mississippi is awful-in our case-not so much.....
We live in a historic district with a solid neighborhood association so we know most everyone in a 3 block area. We are active members of a small Episcopal church where we're very well treated and last year we hosted the neighborhood Halloween costume party for adults (we've been asked to do it again this year).
State government is sickening-local government just as bad, but I've never lived in a community this accepting. It is a paradox, but one that I'm happy to survive in.

Current state is very friendly and my long-term employer in TX became LGBT friendly in 1974.
