Saying bad shit about NYC doesn't make everyone in Texas is an open-minded saint. Don't even try to act like there aren't caveman shitkickers there who are against any progress of anything that threatens their precious way of life and "freedom".
So they elect a gay mayor. The Texas Republican Party has one of the most anti-gay platforms of any state.
“Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, in public policy, nor should family be redefined to include homosexual couples.” The 2014 platform also seeks to deny the ability of same-sex couples to adopt foster children, and recognizes “the legitimacy and value of counseling which offers reparative therapy and treatment to patients who are seeking to escape from the homosexual lifestyle.”
That's just the tip of the iceberg of their anti-social shenaingans. What about all of the attempts to limit voting access and closing almost every abortion clinic in the state? Real champions of the people. Fuck Texas, yo.
Good ribs though.
