Bless you for this post. *in tears* It's utterly beautiful.

I was surprised how small the Pride Parade was here in Wichita my first year--and even more surprised how few protestors there were. Last year it was a bigger parade and even fewer protestors.

When I first started talking to Gryph, he called this "the buckle of the Bible Belt" which scared me. But while that's true--we are sort of in the center of the Belt--Wichita is much like Little Rock. We're accepted pretty much everywhere and people either ignore the fact that we're Queer, or they just don't care.
