The Worst (and Best) Places to Be Gay in America

By Frank Bruni

If the Trump administration won’t protect gay people, we’re at the mercy of our ZIP codes.



All my life I’ve loved Texas: those big skies, big steaks and big attitudes. I’m there several times a year.

But Texas doesn’t love me back. Certainly its lawmakers don’t, and lately they’ve been hellbent on showing that.

In June the governor signed a bill allowing child welfare groups to refuse adoptions that contradict their “sincerely held religious beliefs.” They can turn away gay men like me.

That same month, the Texas Supreme Court approved a lawsuit challenging the city of Houston’s provision of equal benefits to all married employees, including those with same-sex spouses. Although the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, Texas bucks and balks.

Yeah, I love how to prove they are normal, homosexuals have "pride" parades in many cities where they dress (or undress) in provocative clothes and many times make lewd gestures to the crowd. I guess that proves they're normal like other people who march in parades.
