...I just saw this documentary tonight. It was really really good! Kevin Smith produced it. It was sad, it was funny it makes me happy I live in Cali. It's about two small gay bars in rural Mississippi. Like really small towns! If you watch it, the gays there are so happy to have some place to go, it's like mecca for them. Um, I got like 10 places to go right now if I wanted to kick it with gay people. It kind of took me back to my teens when I was coming out, that feeling of acceptance. Only these people were not teens. Amazing how there are still gays out there who are not out to their friends and parents. That really sounded lame, but I've been in Cali since I was 13, when I came out. If you can, watch it...it's on Netflix. ;-) peace
I live in Frankfort, Ky, pop. about 45,000, which makes us a small city, not a small town. Frankfort has no gay bars or gay hangouts, but there are a group of us here. As a capital city / government town, gays seem to be attracted to the place, but only when the General Assembly is in session, which is in the winter. Louisville (50 miles) and Lexington (25 miles) are close by and both have a number of gay spots.
ReplyDeleteHere in Frankfort, we all seem to know each other - my cousin is also gay which helps. But, Frankfort, for all its protestant conservatism is also pretty tolerant.
