Well this juist begs the question - then why do you live in Dallas?

I grew up there, and availed myself the opportunity to move away when I was 18. However, I will say that I do not live in Dallas because it is a bad place to live if you are gay.

I know everyone likes to knock Texas, but it is a very diverse state, and like anywhere you get the good with the bad. Think of it as there is something for everyone. Sure there are evangelical churches around, but it is not like there aren't mega evangelical churches elsewhere (Coral Gables, FL ?!?) Plus, speaking of churches the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas is a huge gay church, and although I am not religious, is an excellent way to introduce ideas of tolerance into modern religion.

Texas is very a ethnically diverse state, and inexpensive to live in. So for me as someone who likes guys of color and who spent years starting their own business while living on a couple hundred dollars a month, I am honestly not sure I could done all that in many other places.

And I'll tell ya, Dallas and Houston have a much better gay nightlife scenes than Austin. It's really slid downhill here over the past few years. I have been seriously considering moving down to San Antonio.
