I don't know the first thing about rugby but I went to a game last year because I live near the stadium and kept seeing signs for it everywhere, so I thought why not. I ended up having a great time! Awesome atmosphere and their mascot is ADORABLE. Overall the experience reminded me of Lowell Spinners games back in the day (RIP)
I will definitely go back again this season once the weather gets warmer!

I'm not sure if that's true, I remember seeing pictures that look like they were definitely taken overnight.

What the heck does "bad frog" "frog defect" mean? I assume it's a train term or an acronym for something but that's pretty funny out of context lol

Thank you for providing an actual answer! You could be right, although it's such an anomaly that at this point I'm more likely to believe the Globe made a mistake in reporting.

As shown in this screenshot, Great Barrington is the only town so far to vote majority No on 2, and it was by a huge margin.
Why is this? Does the CEO of Delta Dental live there or something?

Reply to Transgender couple considering moving to Boston by pinkrosxen
I would be completely shocked if MA enacted any anti-trans bills or repealed any pro-trans bills in the near future, considering there was literally a ballot measure in 2018 attempting to repeal a previous pro-trans bill and the vote went overwhelmingly in favor of the existing measure.
The other commenter is correct that there are some areas of the state you'll definitely want to avoid, but I would disagree that Boston is the only city worth considering. Northampton/Amherst in the western part of the state is just as queer-friendly as Boston if not even more so. There are a lot of smaller colleges there like Smith and Hampshire that have historically been super progressive which definitely runs over into the surrounding area. It's also cheaper - note that you won't be able to move within 20-30 miles of Boston unless you can spend at least $2k a month on a studio or 1-bed and pay at least $8k in up-front moving costs (of course there are exceptions to this rule, but I wouldn't bank on exceptions).
