That’s subjective.

but that would defeat your point wouldn't it, that EVERYWHERE isn't actually gay friendly

Please explain to me how an entire town, city, or county isn’t LGBTQ friendly.

Can’t wait to hear your justification for stereotyping people you’ve never met.

Isn’t that what the LGBTQ community has worked so hard to put an end to…stereotyping?

Many of them. There’s weirdos everywhere you go but there’s also decent, kind, accepting people.

What if the question was presented this way:

Is Philadelphia accepting of white people?

Would you say no?

Have you ever been to Nicetown, Hunting Park, Strawberry Mansion, Fairhill, Alleghany West, Frankfort, or North Central Philly? Be a white person and walk through those hoods. Let’s just say you wouldn’t get the warmest of welcomes. Still, you wouldn’t say Philadelphia isn’t accepting towards white people. You see what I’m saying?

I'm actually in strawberry mansion all the time, never had an issue. So, no I wouldn't say Philadelphia is unaccepting of white people, also these aren't exactly the same thing, because white people as a demographic aren't marginalized
