Oh, Tennessee. There's a reason you have a reputation as a backward, sibling-lovin' redneck backwater. I lived there for several years, and not everybody is like that, but the ones who are are just so damn loud.

I have friends there, too, and I imagine they are ashamed.

I didn't realize how bad it still is until recently.

This! I live in Nashville and between this sort of thing and protests about a mosque going up in Murfreesboro and the Islamic community center that was vandalized here in town... yes, rational thought and acceptance definitely has its work cut out for it. :/

If I lived there, I think I'd feel like I was drowning.
