in the south, i have had way more people scream homophobic epithets at me on the street. not sure why because i'm heterosexual, and one time a car full of old women screamed a lesbian-focused epithet at myself and my wife while we were walking hand in hand.

i grew up in the south and i have no idea what southern hospitality means. where i lived, the running joke about southern hospitality was that <ethnic group> would hear the sound of you reloading before you opened fire.

if you're nerved out when surrounded by a bunch of well-armed, perpetually drunk, ill mannered, poorly educated and xenophobic people, i would not recommend moving to the south.
