25 years ago we moved from our hip local city and a big reason was because of the acting out of the local homosexual population in the park.
and it was normalized and celebrated.
we left with our children.
One of the only times I stopped at a highway rest stop, a very large, well-equipped station on a major interstate in Texas, I was proposition simply because I was RESTING in my car on a long trip. The guy had a “good times” 70’s style van. I politely turned him down and left, never going back.
The rest stop was eventually closed, purportedly because the homos had taken over and destroyed the restrooms with their filth.
