What mystified me is as much as we're known and recognized, nobody has ever been the least untoward. Caswell has less than 20k people; the largest town, Yanceyville, only has 2300. Y'all are the Big City compared to us

They have nothing against us; nothing against LGBT people in general. I think they had no idea what effect it's going to have.

I've got lots of cousins your way, from Washington to about half of Tyrrell County. (Columbia is even smaller than Yanceyville.) You might have even met one or two.
