Even though it is a super religious place to live here, we have a pretty large gay community. There is a pride parade every year around my birthday. It's pretty cool and fun to watch. My husband went with me to the club afterward and was so weirded out that we had to leave 20 minutes in. I'm bisexual, so I don't have any issues with GLBT community. I'd rather see two guys making out rather than a couple of toothless drunk rednecks any day (and yes, it is a regular occurrence out here).
