The idea that you’d face any kind of threat to life and limb in a small town is an ignorant narcissistic meme. I didn't say that. I said unharassed. I've personally been the victim of these things in small towns. I've personally been ostracized. Bisexual, athiest, and not really caring if my lover's skin tone matched my own. Trans folk have it worse than I ever have. If people in your town aren't pushing back against anti-trans laws and things like that, it isn't good enough. And those things you mention? Yeah, meth is a big issue in rural America. Before production got moved to cartels, I've personally seen more than two buildings that were destroyed because of a home meth lab. Farmers used to find them quite often. Violence is everywhere, and I never said it was perfect. It still shouldn't prevent your area from accepting folks as they are and treating them well. It isn't asking for a pedestal, just wanting to be treated like other folks.
