I wonder how the results changed if the question was put a different way. Even I struggle to answer this a bit. I don't think society should "accept" my homosexuality. There's plenty things I don't "accept" either but I just stay out of it then. No need to like it - just don't be a jerk and let me live my life. I don't need your validation.
Wouldn't the opposite of acceptance imply eradication?
Congratulations ! You've been brainwashed.
So... Your brain is dirty?
Also, a very convenient map of the best and worst US states.
Idk, New Jersey or Delaware or whatever tiny "states" are in that northeast cluster are going to have to do a lot more than be cool with gay stuff for me to ever visit lol. WA and CA are gay as hell, despite the slightly lower score I feel like either one would be a way better place to bring your boyfriend
Idk, Texas is pretty bad
For the most liberal state in the Union, "Commiefornia" has an awful lot of conservatives and bigots
My university campus alone has had two hate crimes in the last year, one against a Muslim student and one against a gay student
I mean if you’re looking for the 25-30% they still think Trump is doing a good job and they approve, that’s it
I gotta visit Vermont. Gayer than California and hella good cheese? Let's go!
I'm ashamed that WA isn't higher. I don't know why we put up with the half of the state east of the mountains, they're just our cross to bear.
Former Oregonian here. Same about eastern Oregon.
Well aware. There are towns out there that gave me severe bad vibes. I was rolling through Chemult one time while camping. No place has ever given me such an urgent desire to quickly leave.
As soon as I saw this, I thought that we need to see this broken down by sides of the state and see how evenly different regions were included, especially for Washington and Oregon.
For cultural stats like this Oregon and Washington should be split vertically instead of horizontally, would give a much more accurate indication of the region
We all have our deplorable area. For California, it's the central valley and a lot of the northern part of the state.
This should be overlapped with Pornhub’s viewing data per state for a good laugh.
trans, and gayporn consumption. is likely higher in the sexually repressed states.
Interesting but not beautiful. No labels for the state names, even Americans don’t know the geography that well. The smaller states need numbers with lines. Maryland and D.C. overlap and Delaware has no number.
You should take it up with the original poster not the repost bot.
Sounds like the bot needs to die.
I always thought it was interesting how the one thing MAGA hasn't been frothing at the mouth to reverse is gay marriage, it's really crazy how fast the opinion changed once it became legal nationwide and the sky didn't fall.
Oh, they’re frothing about it. It’s just that they know they’ll get shouted down about it. So they plan to go after trans people first.
The man in white underwear and a blue hat lol
This why Kansas is better than Arkansas
Fewer letters in the name.
It is still like the 1980's around here in Arkansas. I'm not gay but when I was in my early twenties(Mid 90's) I really enjoyed going to the showings of the Rocky Horror Picture show in Little Rock. One night we had some no necks try to assault the crowd lined up at the screening. The four dipshits jump out expecting the crowd to run. We had three guys there They were cut like the guy in the movie and only wearing gold short shorts. Those assholes quickly found out the the horror in rocky horror would kick your ass. Roll forward to the late 2010's. Nearly the same thing occurred at some drag show in Little Rock that my daughter was attending. She didn't see it all but I read about it a few days later.
The point is though nothing has changed in Arkansas. Too many closeted guys or guys who got a boner from chick with a dick who get excited when people make choices they are too scared to make turn to violence to cloak their true sexuality.
"dost thou protest too much" is still a real thing and a real handy way to spot
Fuck Arkansas, other than Eureka Springs
My partner has family in Arkansas and I've seen more of it than I'd like, but Eureka Springs was delightful. Honestly never ran into anyone else who knows about it though!
It's a wonderful reprieve if you're driving through the area!
