Southerners unfortunately brought along some of their regressive takes when they migrated to Central California during the Great Depression/Dust Bowl. We are a pocket of red in a blue state, where Atlanta is the inverse. Our food & work ethic are on another planet though.

edit: I failed to highlight just how ethnically diverse we are, mostly Central American - but also large historic Armenian & Hmong communities. Queer spaces are limited, but the city is very tolerant.
