That means absolutely nothing. Little Rock has a gay organization--even Utah has one.

All this post shows is that you are incredibly inept at collecting meaningful facts to formulate arguments with an objective basis. Stick to what you know--posting YouTube videos and other childish nonsense laced with hyperbole.

The overall culture in Collin County isn't near as bigoted as you keep insinuating.

Accusing someone of exaggerating the facts, that's real rich coming from you.

Your video only furthers the Austin cause and shows how unique and liberal Austin really is. The fact that many people would choose to give up their cars to be "green" and ride bikes, shows how Austin cares about the environment.

I grew up in Melbourne, Australia (not NYC size, but almost 4 million people), and prior to moving to Fort Worth almost 2 years ago, I lived in Chicago (both the Loop, and the suburbs) for 18 years, so I know my decent size cities

I'm not a cowboy/country music/rodeo fan, but I love living in Fort Worth.

The tour of fat is a nation wide festival: plus it's once a year. Nothing special.

But Eeyore's birthday party is uniquely Austin. It's family and adult friendly, all at the same time.

Yet again they took that from San Fransisco tradition.....i.e., hippies.

Let's look at the list of this national festival... Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Diego, Austin...

when again is the Dallas date for this green festival? I mean, it's nation-wide right? So Dallas must have it?

And many cities like Portland have stolen the "Keep so-and-so weird" motto from Austin. Good things are copied. So yes, Eeyore's Birthday Festival (which has been going on in Austin for 40+ years), was probably borrowed from the hippie festivals in San Francisco.
