My daughter is very young and openly gay , we relocated from NW Georgia and the political hell hole that area is. Watching women that are like her accomplish things and hold office and be openly accepted has been great for her . Sometimes people in an area that doesn’t have the same social stigma and bigotry as the one we were in tend to forget how nice it actually is.

We now see Pride flags flying on front of homes instead of a barrage of confederate battle flags. No one here that we have encountered bats an eye at her being openly gay. Back in Georgia we were told that they would pray for her , that they love her but hate her sinful life. Even told it was a phase and we should not let her act that way. After years of arguments and me coming close to catching a charge for putting hands on someone, we took their advice. If you don’t like it leave..so we left.
