Yeah, being even slightly queer or non-white is majorly disruptive to leading a reasonable, hate-free life in the midwest IME (I specifically have experience with Chicago). I think people that talk about how diverse, open, and respectful places like Chicago are are either white/straight or have never lived in a coastal USA city (that is, NYC, SF, LA, Seattle, etc).
- almost_usual 5y agoI can’t imagine PNW loggers and NorCal State of Jefferson types being more open minded than your average Chicagoan. The west coast is very conservative outside of major metros.
- thatfunkymunki 5y agomy apologies, I specified coastal cities in an edit, since my original phrasing mentioned only the coast in general.
