Kansas: Not as Bigoted as You Think
While driving around Topeka on a quest to amass the most awesome collection of vinyl records in town, my boyfriend (represented as “C”) and I had the following exchange:

M: Ooo, did you know that Manhattan is considering an ordinance that will bar discrimination against gay people?

C: Oh, that’s cool. (pause) You mean New York, right?

But, no, my dear readers, I did not mean New York. I’m talking about Manhattan, Kansas. The Little Apple. Home of K-State football, Aggieville, and, soon, the state’s broadest anti-discrimination ordinance.

I know. I’m as surprised as you are, and I live here.
