Not quite true.

The urbanized areas tend to lean towards the Democrats and the rural areas lean towards the Republicans. Besides Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, there is the Lehigh Valley: Allentown (3rd most populous city in PA) - Bethlehem - Easton. Then there is Erie (4th most populous city). After that there is the Wyoming Valley: Scranton (5th most populous city) - Wilkes-Barre - Pittston - Nanticoke. Harrisburg, the state capitol and State College also tend to lean blue. Everything outside those areas, especially the rural south central, central, north east and north central parts of the state are very Republican.

Here is a passage:

Also note this is in "Blue state" Pennsylvania- not a "Bible-belt red state" like Alabama.

Even though I think they have the right to their speech, I do not condone any bullying either, so nowhere in this post am I "anti-gay." I thought it would be interesting to discuss since people seem to think young people are all pro-gay and non-religious.
They're protesting gay day by wearing flannel shirts and tucking them into their jeans? While putting their arms around each other? Put it on instagram? OP: Thanks for the laugh. That made my whole week.

This is horrible, and any student participating in this should get suspended for a long time. Bullying, harassment, and physical violence are never okay, even if some of the LGBT rights activities go over the top at times.

What is your definition of a Christian?

Must believe.............." there is no right or wrong" ?
