The other thing she does is try to create the impression that New Yorkers overwhelmingly support gay marriage without question and that only backwoods hicks who live in trailer parks would have anything against it. Again the TV fantasy stereotype about New Yorkers.
Since New York has dozens and dozens of traditional ethnic groups, most of these ethnic groups have attitudes rooted in traditions dating back before things like gay marriage were acceptable, and so the amount of people against such things in this city is certainly very very significant. However Ms. Bush would have you believing they are as rare in New York as space aliens.
I love you. Thank you for saying that. I'm not opposed to gay marraige, but I have the feeling that if I were to visit another state whose ressidents were not fammiliar with NYers, that they would automaticaly assume I was in support of gay marriage, and slump me into that group. (To be honest I don't have an oppinion on gay marriage).
This thread has nothing to do with DC, or any other area, as the last time I checked those were not also cities claimed as residence by Ms. Bush. If this thread is dealing with NYC and a definition of "New Yorker" then that's the focus; otherwise it's not on-topic for this forum.

So... the question in my mind for you guys is what are you having for brunch tomorrow? And do you like the goji berry organic wheatgrass juice or the triple mocha latte to wash it down?

If a New Yorker from the Bronx moved down to Texas and started calling themselves a Texan, trust me that would not go over to well down there.
Ahem, speaking as a Texan, I can honestly say it doesn't bother me one bit. It's not about where you're from but where you're at. She's a resident, so technically she's a New Yorker.

Ahem, Great because now that you said that I am on the next plane to texas to be a "technical cowboy" as soon as I get my phone bill and texas license. I always wanted to shed this whole new york thing and tell my grandparents to get bent and that I never want to see another pizzeria or porkstore again and live my dream to round up cattle rawhide style.
