I need to find me some more rural California Gays:
Wild undomesticated gays appreciate the sentiment more than ones who grew up in big cities. They know how much it sucks growing up in a red country surrounded by fake allies and active hate. It’s hard relating to urban LGBT individuals when, frankly, your background has more in common with suburban midwesterners. Stuff like dodging neonazis, fundamentalist christian hate groups, and conservative politicians, where if you’re lucky you’ve got one gay bar (in reality we have three and two thirds, but the straight girls took our kitschy tiki bar and brought their boyfriends and since it only seats like twenty people comfortably there’s no room for queer people when the heteros move in, the Bull is an STD trap in literally the worst part of town, and the Queen Bean is a coffee house that technically caters to everyone... wait, no, two and three quarters Minnie’s is just a gay-friendly chinese restaurant because it’s the halfway point between the Tiki and Climax). But what little scene is to be had is dead or locked in the rusty iron grip of some judgement Imperial Court Drag Queens that last kissed a man when Clinton was in office. Any of you from one of those parts of the state that aren’t the greater Los Angeles, San Diego, or Bay areas?
