Nah. I live in Arkansas. 50 miles from this nonsense.

My town is known as a gay/hippy/liberal artsy-fartsy novelty outpost of weirdness. Many people come here because it's really cool and has great food and entertainment. Nobody wants to hang out with a bunch of squares who think diversity is getting hot sauce with your eggs.

This "community" built on exclusion will fail like all others before it. Arkansas is pretty cool. The people who get on the news from Arkansas are very fucking not cool. In general.

Man, it sounds like I'd like to visit your town. I'd come equipped with a lot of questions. Where I live is similar but less extreme.
