I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

I e no realized this. My wife, born Texan, and I both are getting out of here asap. We’re going to Colorado and starting fresh their. I hate authoritarianism, especially in Texas. It’s the worst and I grew up in a red state.

Just make sure you avoid Colorado Springs; it's one of the redder parts of Colorado.

We’re planning on moving to the Denver area. More to do and a little cheaper CoL. we plan on staying away from tourist areas since those are always more expensive.
