I once had to fix someone's heater. Went up a stairs around some corners and this apartment was just.. so different from anything I had ever seen before. It was like entering a movie set.
I am talking pink fluffy walls and crystal beads hanging in the doorway. Like just imagine the gayest possible and multiply by 10.
The craziest part was that this is in a tiny village, very conservative and religious even compared to the area it's in. We are talking bible belt in the bible belt kind of territory. We had a freakin polio outbreak! Because vaccine bad. During corona a corona tent was burned down.
This guy just didn't give a fuck and I love him for it.
There seems to be two responses if you're weird in the backwoods. Push it down inside or... this.
I know a guy who has pride flags everywhere and no-shit dresses like he's a prospector straight out of the gold rush.
Redneck lgbtqa+
This all reminds me of The only gay in the village (yt)
