 In honor of Pride week in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette put up this non-story about how country gays still face homophobia and discrimination, but this thing called the Internet has made them feel a little less isolated. The story focuses on several gays in rural Washington County, Pennsylvania, in particular one Patrick who's 57 years old, and another Patrick who's 22. Both seem to acknowledge that there isn't much for the gays out where they are, but the younger Patrick seems to believe that his virtual life makes up for his lack of an actual one.
All we gotta say is, moving to the country is only for the property-hungry and monogamously coupled. Everyone else: You may have cheap rent and be disease-free, but you're wasting your youth. But we're sure that you must be loyal porn customers!
ALERT: In addition to Pittsburgh, this weekend also heralds Pride celebrations in Baltimore, Denver and Omaha, Nebraska.
