Ho-hum. It’s unfunny. They tried to tag RR as a dunce when he was in fact a very bright guy. And it’s a crappy map. That is to say, it’s not even good as a satirical map. The “Homos” thing, for example, is likely supposed to be targeting San Francisco but on the map the circle doesn’t even include S.F. it appears to be around Petaluma, CA, which in the ‘80s at least probably wasn’t any more gay than pretty much anywhere else in America.

At one time, Petaluma was known as the "Egg Capital of the World." Maybe the author of this parody-map misheard it as "Fag Capital of the World."

it may be a ‘crappy map’ from your 2019 point of view, but back in the 80’s, most people in America would have laughed at the accuracy of the labeling.

Petaluma in the 80s was the playground for well-to-do gays. Still is.
