Just be prepared for some really crazy shit! I was here when the fundies tried to amend the state constitution to forbid any positive mention of homosexuality in the schools and government ducuments. It went down, but I personally was accosted by random psychos multiple times during the lead up to the vote.

I was working for a brewery, and someone from Queer Nation put a sticker on our beer truck that said "BUTTFUCKING IS FUN!". I had no idea I was driving around with that on the truck, and a rabid fundie charged up to me and challenged me to a fight for exposing his kid to my perversion. I just told him that we should call the cops and see what they would say about it, which made him tear off in a huff. In retrospect it was pretty funny, but damn scary at the time.

My point is that things will most likely get very uncivil, and quite possibly violent.

That whole thing happened around the election of Clinton in 1992. This feels like Groundhog Day.
