Standing out in any way in a small, socially conservative community can have some pretty terrible consequences.


Can confirm. A friend of mine got death threats for reading the constitution aloud on the steps of town hall. This was not in Alabama. It was in the Massachusetts hill towns.


An American colleague of mine got beat up in Idaho for being gay :<


I have friends that have been attacked on the street for being trans in San Francisco.

America's a rough place to stand out.


Same as wearing a MAGA hat in San Francisco or New York City.


Even in SF and NYC, you will find friends by wearing a MAGA hat.
