I'm guessing you're in the USA.... You're not Christian.... But you do live in a very Christian town. Am I right?

I'm a bit confused as to how not waiting on you when you go into a business ISN'T illegal? Well, given that its a hot-button topic right now where businesses want to refuse service to anyone who isn't straight.... (Same effect, different cause.) My guess is that the prosecuting attorney is on THEIR side.

I've been to places where being of the wrong religion is....CRAZY! I never thought places like that existed in the USA. I was so glad when I was able to return to the east coast. I may live in a rural area with its share of closed minds, but I do know there are indeed parts of the USA which are stuck back in the 1950's in terms of their tolerances and such.

Have you tried forming online relationships? Ok, so its NOT a substitute for having face to face relationships, but it can indeed help in the loneliness department. I belong to a pen-pal site and have connected with people that way. There are sorts of sites out there where you can connect with people.
