i love it when gay people are hicks . life mission of mine is to rep for the gay people who are not from cities and dont dress like it or talk like it and who don't plan to leave wherever small place they're from to be in a city, however easier it would be . i think even we think of our community as being city-based, and those of us out on the fringes get sort of forgotten unless we relocate, but we're out here! surrounded by corn tassels! looking for morels! a good 50% of us ecology people! dropping our consonants and wearing our barn boots and never seeing a gay bar ever come to our town but staying for the forest or the prairie or the desert anyway! yeehaw i love gay people

#sometimes i get so lonely thinking how hard it is to date out here . and stay out here #i mean im not gonna lie its slim pickins. most of the gay ppl i know in town are already in relationships and not looking to expand #and those that arent i dont know about because they're all closeted. so am i to an extent . i dont flag very loudly or anything #sometimes i think maybe life would be easier surrounded by people all the time. where subcultures are bigger #where visibly flagging as 'subculture' wouldn't be so stressful but the community would also be big enough that if you didnt flag.#you wouldn't miss out on anything for lack of being noticed #but then i remember mary oliver . and im like well mary oliver would not think you have to move to the city to be gay #mary oliver would just sit around on the porch watching the deer. while gay #mary oliver would encourage me to simply notice more animals
