"Leave our homos alone."
This Washington Post story (annoying but free registration required) about a young gay man in a small Oklahoma town who "finds love where he least expects it" -- and that doesn't mean what you probably think it means -- is among the most heart-warming things I've read this year.

What a powerful story.
It just goes to show that small-town, Christian, "Red State" folks are often a lot more open-minded and big-hearted than critics give them credit for.
I grew up in a small, Southern town (Shelby, N.C.) and, yeah, we had some yahoos and bigots. Those types of people are everywhere, though, and in Shelby, they were greatly outnumbered by kind, decent people.
