Kirk), things basically turn into Missouri and Southern Culture begins to take over.  (One can tell by the change of restaurants, hotels, etc.)  The other major cities in Iowa (Waterloo, Des Moines and Dubuque) are liberal, but west of I35 it's all conservative, sometimes radically so.  Steve King, one of the most bigoted congressman in recent history, was elected out west, representing the Sioux City region.  As one goes north, things are still conservative, until one gets close to Minnesota, and there, one begins to encounter the "conservative tolerant" culture; those folks are conservative, but not the in-your-face type; significant numbers of Amish and Mennonites up in that area.  I have "spooked" some Amish women on occasion, but other than that, have gotten along with them just fine.

I lived in Iowa City for a while in the mid/late 80s. I spent my much younger years in Ames...there's something different about college towns.

I'm surprised you think Dubuque is liberal as I grew up about 20 miles west of there and it was our 'big town'. But then it's been a llllooonnnnggg time since I lived in Iowa so I am sure some things are different now.

I grew up in Sumner; you must have grown-up near Dyersville.

As for Dubuque, it certainly has its prolife, conservative element, and so, I would say that it is more conservative than Iowa's other major cities. In any case, Trump can count Iowa as being in the bag if his fatty foods and/or obesity and/or jail do not prevent a 2024 Presidental run.

Yep, the home of The Field of Dreams. It was dad's hometown and where his mother was born.

Really? Are people just targeting trans people because their trans? Or is there another reason?

 I honestly don't know why they were targeted. Nor, with respect, do you. Given the amount of general ignorance, I wouldn't  be surprised if it was because they are trans.. I suspect the basic reason is pretty simple. I've said this before; that many of the abusers are insecure in their own sexuality/ sexual  preferences/ gender. Must be terrible to be so frightened of a group of people that a person constantly behaves like a total cunt.


PS: it's 'they're (they are)  'their' is a possessive pronoun, meaning 'belonging to another or others'.

So, they deserve to die because they put themselves in a double bind where they either have to tell people they’re trans and risk anything from rejection to violence or deceive others about being trans and risk those same reactions when they reveal the truth?
