I have to bring up the same thing on many of these...

But what if you're not white, straight, and Christian? How far can you venture outside of Chattanooga and still feel safe? Can I hold hands with my boyfriend in public and not feel uncomfortable?

I may not have marriage today where I live, but it's coming soon. How long is it until I get the same in the South? http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/mar/05/poll-62-perce... -- For that matter, am I going to have hassle seeing my boyfriend if he's in the hospital because someone doesn't respect my health care power of attorney?

How far do I have to travel to feel like a second class citizen?

I know you like your city, but outside a certain radius, it's not very friendly for a lot of people.
