trans, and gayporn consumption. is likely higher in the sexually repressed states.

I really find futa the most annoying genre of drawn / 3d porn and I'm so excited for being less than straight to gain acceptance across more male populations because I know that'll probably cut it in more than half.

You should take it up with the original poster not the repost bot.

We all have our deplorable area. For California, it's the central valley and a lot of the northern part of the state.

As soon as I saw this, I thought that we need to see this broken down by sides of the state and see how evenly different regions were included, especially for Washington and Oregon.

Why should we turn 100% of our farmland into Republican states?

If it wasn't for Spokane you could give the whole eastern half to Idaho. (Except don't, don't give them more electors!)

I mean if you’re looking for the 25-30% they still think Trump is doing a good job and they approve, that’s it

California is so goddamn huge that it can't help but represent a wider range of demographics. I'd be interested to know how it compares against the overall national rate of acceptance.

Edit: If you average all of the numbers on the map together, the national average is 67%. Whether or not that's a responsible way to work with this data... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Californian here. My LGBTQ+ friends have all sorts of bigot stories. Bigots are like worms/maggots. You can find them anywhere.

Some of the big cities have mostly the progressives, but once out into the countryside or further away and into certain suburbs there are angry red areas.

Oh, they’re frothing about it. It’s just that they know they’ll get shouted down about it. So they plan to go after trans people first.

They'll get to them after they finish with the trans people.

Conservatives (fascists) always need a minority to persecute because their ideology is based on hate. Gay people ended up getting enough support across the board, after decades of effort, that conservatives (fascists) had to swap to targeting trans individuals instead to keep feeding the hate machine.

Wish I was exagerrating but that's literally what happened. Same thing happened with black people. They ended up getting enough support, after a Herculian effort, that conservatives swapped to targeting gay people.

Conservatives (fascists) are truly awful human beings.

I grew up with Christian nationalists, and I can assure you, MAGA always has their eye on gay marriage.

They just know they don’t have the power at the moment, as their voter base has significantly eroded and some of the more normie republicans in the federal government can see that the Trump regime isn’t quite as inevitable as they thought it was almost two years ago.

Marriage is at its core property law that promotes social stability and commitment to a status quo. If you're gay but willing to pay a mortgage, raise a kid, and keep number going up they're happy to have you for the moment. I don't see it as a prize to be won but as a culture war touchpoint that has served its purpose and an option for those with previously subversive lifestyles to give up/buy in.

It's not as appealing or accessible of an option as it once was, and I don't think they can afford to be as picky as they might like. If we get to a point where the Department of Family needs your home for a couple with more traditional values it'll be another story, but I imagine religion, race, and political affiliation (in roughly that order) will be greater risk factors than sexuality. As is, getting married at all is a clear enough signal of alignment to be left alone

Seriously! I thought this was an old jpg getting recycled until I zoomed in on the bottom 😬

Zooming in on the bottom is also how to be gay 🌈

I thought Cali would be higher given their reputation, but I'm also not that surprised.

Don't care who they be fuckin, can they pound a beer and can they defend the honor of Cheesus is all that matters man

First, the term is "Wississippi". Second, I totally agree. I was shocked to see how well we did.

I think, like usual, Madison and Milwaukee carry the load here.

I always said that’d be Indiana lol.

A map for you sir/madam/all else

My partner has family in Arkansas and I've seen more of it than I'd like, but Eureka Springs was delightful. Honestly never ran into anyone else who knows about it though!

What direction do you think that would move these numbers?

The colors being backwards compared to the other image threw me for a sec.

Damn these maps really make me want to move to the far North East as soon as possible. Massachusetts.

I am from here and Florida, at least in the cities, is queer as fuck. I hung out in gay bars as a teenager, because they were safe spaces for all sorts. We used to have a very big gay film festival in St Pete, our mayor in Tampa is a lesbian. I have no idea who that 45% is.

It is still like the 1980's around here in Arkansas. I'm not gay but when I was in my early twenties(Mid 90's) I really enjoyed going to the showings of the Rocky Horror Picture show in Little Rock. One night we had some no necks try to assault the crowd lined up at the screening. The four dipshits jump out expecting the crowd to run. We had three guys there They were cut like the guy in the movie and only wearing gold short shorts. Those assholes quickly found out the the horror in rocky horror would kick your ass. Roll forward to the late 2010's. Nearly the same thing occurred at some drag show in Little Rock that my daughter was attending. She didn't see it all but I read about it a few days later.

The point is though nothing has changed in Arkansas. Too many closeted guys or guys who got a boner from chick with a dick who get excited when people make choices they are too scared to make turn to violence to cloak their true sexuality.

"dost thou protest too much" is still a real thing and a real handy way to spot

I mean good for you, but as a fellow homosexual, I demand acceptance.

Tolerance is a pathetically low bar. We deserve equality and respect.

just don’t be a jerk and let me live my life

That's literally acceptance...

Wouldn't the opposite of acceptance imply eradication?

Congratulations ! You've been brainwashed.
