Have you experienced homophobic hate in a specific rural area of Western WA? Sucks. Rural places seem so nice and polite to me.

Got a bottle thrown at me and my BF in Carnation once, and one time called some slurs in Aberdeen. Got yelled at by some neo nazis outside Ferndale once, but that was mostly racial slurs directed at my friends.

To be clear most people in rural parts of all of the country are nice people, it’s just you’ve got a higher per capita chance of running into a nutter in rural areas.

It’s ok,

I’ve had a similar encounter in Seattle once too, hateful people are everywhere unfortunately, not trying to say rural places don’t have predominantly nice folks

Got a nice neighbor here on Camano who calls me a dyke because I used to drive a Subaru? I’m widowed 3 kids but you know, big dyke.

Exactly, I've lived on both sides and if you're going East with the headspace that everyone there is anti-woke then that's a great opportunity to rethink your news sources.
