Texan journalist Jacquielynn Floyd says the dirty, anti-gay campaigning against Justin Nichols tarnishes the entire state: “Somebody out there is making us all look creepy, making us all seem backward, is prompting a backlash of stereotypes about ‘conservative evangelicals’ whose mental apparatus is controlled by “‘megachurches.'” [Dallas Morning News]

Dallas is the most homophobic, right wing fucked
up shit eating evangelical pit stop in the world.
And, along with homophobia comes racism.
Religion is the root of all evil.

I don’t understand the complaint. Texas is creepy, backwards, and run by the evangelicals educated and controlled by extreme right Christian madrassas. The same is true for almost all the states that formed the Confederate States of America, even Florida. I think Texas probably runs a close second to Iran or Saudi Arabia for number of executions and violence against gay people.

All of Texas, except of course Travis County, in which lies the great City of Austin, which some of us lovingly call East Berkeley.
