    Probably like, 95% of the people in my city are either neutral or supportive of LGBT people. The last 5% are so fucking insane that it’s still scary to be LGBT. - (major Texas city)

    Edit: I kinda assume this is unique because I’d think most places are either safe (with the occasional heckler) or completely unsafe. Texas seems special because it seems like most people don’t care or are supportive, but then you get the nutjob who’s entire reality is shattered by the idea that you aren’t straight and/or cisgendered and all they can do is get apocalyptically mad about your existence.

    Edit 2: oh yeah, on a less depressing note, iirc Texas is like, sorta kinda half canyon. Iirc Palo Duro canyon doesn’t really have an end to it, it just kinda… widens until it becomes part of the normal landscape (I might be thinking of a different canyon though). As such, you could basically consider anything downstream from the canyon as being inside the canyon, resulting in a huge chunk of Texas existing in a canyon!
