This hurts as a Texan, but also rings true. I used to think we’re more “independent” minded than the South (as I have some scary Southern family), but every day since 2016 has opened my eyes more.
The murder made me think about how much I heard “fag,” racial slurs and worse as a kid, and how many stayed in the closet out of fear.
If you come, come to Austin! It’s better. Avoid Dallas, it sucks.
