As blue states across the union adopt gay marriage in a satisfyingly faster-than-expected pace, Maine being the latest as of two days ago, I had meant to make a post when this happened in Iowa a few weeks ago, but hadn’t found the time to write it. I’d just like to make a big point of this, to once again exemplify that Iowa is awesome. I wanted point this out because I still feel that many coastal urbanites regard Iowa, one of our most rural states, with conservatism, hicks, and an unsafe environment for liberals, non-whites, or gays. Not so my friend, them cornfields are friendly to ya! Those hicks are now responsible for Obama and the largest gay-friendly geographic slab of America.
States in the Northern-central Midwest, regardless of low population, should not to be culturally associated with rural states in the South. The Midwest (minus Missouri & Kansas) is NOT where the bible belt is. Iowa is rural, friendly, and though true that not definitely not everyone is going to agree with you, there’s not a sense of hostility to difference. There’s a lot of really nice people in Iowa.
Tambien, if you haven’t seen The Straight Story, I highly suggest it. It’s one of my favorite movies.
