So thank you for your advice and responding to my post.
You certainly don't need my permission, or any permission, to move to OKC. I didn't intend my post to be read in that context. It appeared to me that you're initial question is answered. Given the population of the OKC metro area you CAN find like minded people to help you grow as a person and share your common interests- even though people in OKC may not be as "open minded" as yourself.

Again, I encourage you to grow as a person and hope that you find even greater happiness surrounded by friends and family in OKC.

If you can, I would like to suggest looking at the Tulsa area. I think you'll be more apt to find like-minded people there. I moved to the OKC area almost 10 years ago, and people with even moderately leaning views are difficult to locate.

I've visited Tulsa and found it to be a nice city, but my family lives in OKC and I am planning to attending the Norman campus of OU. But that is still a great suggestion! Thank you.

I apologize if I misunderstood the intent of your original post. Thank you for the well-wishes--they are much-needed and appreciated!

SocialKate, you sound like a really cool person. I am impressed with how you've handled yourself in response to several of these ignorant posts! Brava! I don't have much in the way of advice to you, except that I'm liberal and have lived here in OKC most of my 33 years, and it isn't always a cake walk, but with your charm and chocolate chip cookies, you'll be just fine!

Yes, because you liberals are so open-minded like you always claim.

Either way, does it really matter what any of us think? Will this forum post make or break either of us? Probably not. So let's live and let live, shall we?

You act like you are better, all you liberals do.

Yes, I have noticed that most people who call themselves liberal don't live up to the definition of it. That is just fact.
