Legally yes. Tolerance really depends on if you're in a major city or not. (Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati are not major nationally, but those are the 3 biggest cities in the state.) I don't really spend a lot of time in rural Ohio, but judging from rural Indiana and Kentucky, I'd say those areas are not going to be as tolerant. From what I've noticed, if there's less people in your town, the more judgmental the people are if you are different. I think Columbus is friendlier than Cincinnati, but I really don't know about Cleveland, but I do believe there are good surgeons that are trans-friendly in Cleveland, if I remember conversations I've overheard correctly.

Ding ding ding! It took me years to realize that NY is actually a liberal state because I live in such a rural area. This is why I want to move to Ithaca - it is easily the single most gay- and trans-friendly place I have ever been, hands down.

As for other places, well...it's scary how few places actually have protection based on sexual or gender identity. And then trans issues are often dropped if they can be to make headway in lbg issues...

Eh, I'm gonna stop now before I rant.

I think Cleveland is pretty tolerant towards gays. To my knowledge anyway. I lived there shortly, mostly hung around Coventry, and worked there. Most of our customers were lesbian couples. It seemed like a pretty tolerant place.


It really sucks that there are bad people in the world, who think they are The Best kind of Person. It also really sucks when a)you are trying to disagree with someone, and not sound like a jerk for doing so, and they get upset, and b)when you are misunderstood so bad that people get so freaking upset with you. It also really sucks trying to type and smoke a cigarette.


Speaking of cigarettes, I'm trying to...cut down. I don't really want to ever quit(because it makes me look cool, guys! And because I enjoy it too much. It's my quiet vice. I like it and it comforts me. Like a warm security blanket of smooth delicious smoke), but I recently bumped my average cigarette consumption up to two packs a week, from one pack every two weeks or so. It's starting to get really expensive, which is one of the main reasons I want to cut back(also, because my boyfriend has high blood pressure[we are working on that too! He is eating 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and biking to and from work 5 days a week, which is awesome! Woo for him! I'm very proud] and I know if he cut back on smoking it'll help him, which means I need to cut back to help encourage him). Last month we spent like $75 on cigarettes. And thats using coupons. We have a budget we try to stick to, and we only budget $35 a month for cigarettes(which when we made the budget, I thought was way too much.) So yeah, we need to cut back.

Of course, I was smoking when I started typing this, and now I'm craving another cigarette again. This is sad, and laughable. sigh/lol
