This is an easy legislative solution to so many problems. I hope the idea continues to gain momentum.
If the assumption is that rural residents are against same sex relationships, why is every other room in some of our middle & high schools a safe haven for gay & lesbian students?
I honestly wouldnât be surprised if there were some gay & lesbian couples out here. They just donât advertise it with rainbows on every darned thing.
For good reason. 5 years ago, people were willing to go to jail rather than allow gays to exercise their civil rights. It was a perfectly acceptable and celebrated conservative position.
That kind of hate doesnât go away faster than a football franchise rebuilds. Those gay couples are wise to stay hidden.

Left alone to own whatever type of firearm they want? No, liberals definitely arenât pro-choice on that.

Or maybe theyâre comfortable enough as gay & lesbian singles & couples that they donât need to broadcast it.
I find that those who put their identities on displayâbe it religious, sexual or something elseâare the most insecure in those identities.
Those comfortable in the way they live their lives arenât attention seeking.

The only thing that makes it bad is: where do you think the liberals that get sick of their home states move to whenever the housing market is on an uptick?
âYou mean I could sell my SF Bay Area house for 1mil and buy a house twice as big in Idaho for 200k? Iâm sooo there!!â
Followed by:
âThis state is too Red, we need more liberal policiesâŚâ

If rural folks took this advice there wouldnât be a dozen city-bashing threads every month.
If the left took that advice they wouldnât have any political messageâŚat all.

Itâs not comfortable to live in a country where bigotry is codified into law. That sewage stinks too much.
I donât think that word means what you think it does.

Guess why they need a safe haven.
Donât object to others doing something you like to do just as much.
Gee I donât know. Somehow I donât think any of these are rural communities:
Somehow I donât think coming out is seen as the thing to do among minority residents of more urban areas, either:
They donât.

Iâm willing to bet most of that tiny minority of students doesnât even use these rooms. They probably get in there & learn & participate in sports & other pursuits with their majority classmates.
Sorry you feel that way.
Safe spaces are segregation. That is the whole intent of them. I donât support segregation.

Itâs association, but good try.
Yes, sexual minorities experience discrimination every where, but the safer areas are typically in cities where they have greater political power and resources.
