[QUOTE=Simplicio] They must really hate the gay there in OK (ironic since the only reason most of us know the state exists is due to musical theater). [/QUOTE] Nonsense. Everyone knows Carnegie, Oklahoma, home of the [Carnegie Canna Festival](http://www.cannas.net/events.asp). \*"Carnegie is a town in Caddo County. The community was named for Andrew Carnegie, industrialist and philanthropist. The latitude of Carnegie is 35.103N. The longitude is -98.603W. It is in the Central Standard time zone. Elevation is 1,309 feet."\* This year’s festival will be Sept. 28. There will be funnel cakes. ---

[QUOTE=Furious\_Marmot] Just last week, I bewildered a (New York native) friend by saying “I wish I could live in Texas, it’s so cosmopolitan and progressive.” Never thought I’d say that, either. [/QUOTE] It depends on were in Texas. I am 100 miles from the OK boarder. I have never seen so much as a gay pride bumper sticker. I moved from Atlanta which is surronded by a highway perimeter, 285, a joke there is “Once your outside 285 your back in Georgia.” ---

But at least Texas and Georgia have cities like that. Oklahoma City has…about a thousand raving assholes with nothing better to do on a Wednesday, judging from the news. ---

I find it completely unfathomable that people from freaking [Oklahoma City](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Murrah_Building_-_Aerial.jpg) could possibly think that gays are a bigger threat to America than terrorists. I mean, I understand that religious views are frequently irrational and all, but for some reason this just bugs the hell out of me. ---

[QUOTE=DoctorJ] I’m pretty sure I saw a movie about rampant teenage lesbians, but I think they were also vampires. [/QUOTE] They were. It was on Cinemax, I do believe. Late at night. I wonder what good ole Sally thinks about what those “christian” straight folks were up to in Texas recently. I bet the spin on that would be bigger than the Eva Gabor Wig she wears… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hi-were-assholes-and-proud-of-it-rep-sally-kern/443705.md?page=2)
