@verita84 @freedompatriot maybe we just need to be okay with gay cities being gay cities and straight cities being straight cities.
@kylekulinski @verita84 @freedompatriot there's also growing cultural anxieties pushing the polarization. Cultural relativism has decayed most social standards, and it's this decay that causes the anxiety.
Small towns tend to have a relatively homogeneous culture, so feel the effects of that culture changing more.
When I was talking about gay vs straight cities, I was more subtly referencing this cultural relativism. I think it's okay for small towns to resist the cultural relativism that is required for cities to thrive.
@Demosthenes @verita84 @freedompatriot There aren't really any "straight cities." There are not even any majority republican cities. The rural/urban divide is the root of political polarization.
