In this thread; Bigotry.
Yes there are bigots in the southern US. Here you’ll find racism, homophobia and religious intolerance. But I’ve got news for you good folks. You’re going to find these things everywhere. Racism is just as prevalent in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Paris, Ankara, Moscow, Jaipur, Djibouti, Beijing and Canberra as it is in rural Tennessee. Believe it or not GLBT communities are thriving in Tennessee. Check out the Cooper-Young district in Memphis, Nashville Pride or even the Metropolitan Community Church in Knoxville if you’re having a hard time believing that.
So come on people. Let’s try to practice what we preach around here. Bring attention to hate and intolerance where you find it, but please let’s try to avoid condemning six and half million people for the actions of a small portion of them.
