I included the lol because it was a joke. But if you are going to go by that moniker and then dump on another state, you have to admit somebody is going to notice the irony, right?
I chose that moniker shortly after pervert marriage was declared to be legal in Massachusetts by the Marxists on our Supreme Court.A local talk host,Howie Carr,coined the name "Gay State" after that decision...it being a reference to our official nickname the "Bay State".
It never occurred to me that some would take it the wrong way...but then how many who've never heard Howie Carr would get it?
