That is correct. I moved to Philly 5 years ago and decided to have road trip to Harrisburg.
Yeah pretty scary. And this is coming from a guy who went to college in Atlanta and seldom road-tripping to neighboring states.
That's what they said, in between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, there is Pennsyltucky.

If one is born absolutely straight or absolutely gay, how do you reconcile the national sex survey that says almost 40% of men have a same sex experience to orgasm at some point in their youth but only 3-5% identify as gay or bi?

Where did you see any bullying, harassment or physical violence in the article?

The only harassment possible could be the putting sticky notes on lockers, but I think that also depends on what the notes said.

You've got to be carefully taught.You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

Quoting Broadway musicals is a sure fire way to cement your gay gene bona fides.....

"Gay" "Bi" "straight". The context of these terms is ALL about sex. Just sex. A law of attraction thing. At least at young age. Love comes later. This is where I get confused about this whole being gay, bi, whatever , is not a choice thing. If someone is "gay", it is then impossible for them to fall in "love" with anyone not the same gender as them? If that's the case, sex would seem to be the biggest motivating factor.

To be fair, when I was much younger, sexual attraction to a woman was high on my list, sex, by itself, is not my single biggest concern. Love and sex are not the same thing. They call these terms, such as gay, lesbian straight, "sexual identity"...yes? As I said...it confuses me. I could say a whole bunch more about this, but it would just be misunderstood and get someone's hackles up. Not feeling very provocative at the moment. So, I will leave my stance on this, limited to confusion. Other than, as I said earlier, love and sex are not the same things. At all.

Either you're exaggerating, or you've just been a bit too sheltered in your life. If Harrisburg was even half as "scary" as you say, then the 2010 Census wouldn't have counted 56,209 blacks (a 17.6% increase over 2000), 15,816 Asians (an 84.5% increase), 12,992 people of multiple races (an 86.6% increase), or 25,831 Hispanics (a 90.1% increase) in a metropolitan area of 549,475 people overall. And those numbers have likely increased in the five years since. (Annual estimates are unreliable for qualitative analysis, which is why I'm not analyzing anything beyond 2010.) If Pennsylvania was even half as "racist" or "redneck" or "backwards" or "scary" outside of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as everybody pretends it is, the non-white and non-English-speaking populations wouldn't be growing nearly as fast as they are in many of the smaller metropolitan areas.
