I live in Texas and fit in this group and this question is ridiculous. Most of our friends here are conservative and love me and my spouse, treat us like family. I’m not from Texas but I feel welcomed and loved here. My family (from a blue state) has a bigger issue with my preferences than anyone in my circle in Texas.

I have been all over this state and have had no issues. Sorry if something happened to you Principal 2 but that is not normal in Texas. Not at all and I have a lot of gay friends that will say the same.

Many Texans actually believe that a gay married couple should be able to be heavily armed with numerous guns to defend the marijuana farm in their back yard 🤷‍♂️

Oh and don’t forget that there is no such thing as a truck that’s “too big”

Is it socially acceptable for a woman in Texas to drive a pick up truck as her primary vehicle? Asking for a friend.

It’s actually required unless you want to pay the fine

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
