      Yea, honestly - I’d believe that they haven’t elected a trans person yet but gay and lesbian folks have been widely culturally accepted… there are still bigots but they’re now in the fringe group.

        Don’t forget we are only 21 years since SCOTUS ruled against the state of Texas and overturned the anti-sodomy laws in the US. Those laws are still on the books and the current Attorney General has said that he will enforce them should Lawrence v TX be overturned.

        There are also a lot of gay conversion camps in the state using electrodes and other means of physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual abuse to pray the gay away.
