Hi Snowyday. Or Osiyo! Don't feel bad I think its just from the area you live in. You know the culture there and the religion factor makes people overly prude. I grew up in nearby town to where you have listed. Actually I have kin from your area, so it might be cool to talk if you feel up to PM'ing. I'll be on later tonight more. But anyway I grew up near there and the prejudice was unbearable even among strangers at work who were always demanding an answer to why I wasn't married nor had kids yet. I couldn't bring myself to say because I hadn't found the right WOMAN yet. lol Heck where I used to work back there they fired this young girl for being openly gay. I moved out West because I had enough of all that crap. Now I have two lives openly lesbian out here and closeted back home. If you can find a Unitarian Universalist church anywhere nearby they always have GLBT and most of the straights there are accepting and nice to lesbians.
