we ALL know it is fabricated crap.. the ones who fall for it are the ones I am worried about.... :p
I live in NE Louisiana. Granted this isn’t the easiest place in the US to be openly gay, but I know several people who are gay and they aren’t living in fear because whether they like it or not, they know this is the Bible Belt and people are not going to accept the gay lifestyle being shoved in their faces, so they don’t act like they are in San Francisco.
The guy didn’t have to move across the bridge to “progressive” West Monroe because there are 2 gay bars in Monroe, too. That is the main reason I think this is fabricated crap.
