Not when it comes to Texas...or Oklahoma or the Deep South. I'd like to see some evidence of this change you think you see.
Wait, you mean to say your rationality can take a powder in some instances ... and then you turn around and ask for evidence?
Really, all you have to do is open your eyes and look around a little. Not that I think you will, you seem pretty wedded to your blinders at this point.

Of course it's a dodge, you didn't address my point about overbroad generalizations.

You've already admitted that you feel no obligation to be rational about this, so I'm thinking that this will probably be a case of pearls and swine, but here goes:
By a thin majority, more Texans support gay marriage than oppose it. Houston has elected an openly gay mayor. Of the ten states with the highest hate-crimes rate, only one was arguably in the South -- Kentucky.
There's a start. If you want more, I'll be happy to suggest search terms to you.

Thanks. We're not alone, there's a widespread dislike for the guy we call "Governor Goodhair" ... and there's also a move towards a broader-minded outlook all the way around.
