Fayette County is a magical place. In so many ways. There is a lot of beauty there: Nemacolin, Fallingwater, Ohiopyle, Connellsville, even Heritage (the camp I’ve worked at). But it tends, and shamefully, sometimes rightfully so, of being a bit backwards, racists and a dangerous place.
A new favorite blog, Musings from FayetteNam, covered some hate graffiti she spotted while she was rafting including this fantastic sentence:
Regardless of Dylan’s sexual orientation, stop acting like being gay is a bad thing. It’s not. Being straight doesn’t make you better than anyone. Get over yourself.
Go read the whole thing, and subscribe to the blog, she’s funny, witty, and has her finger on the pulse of Fayette County, so it’s a great source for local news.
All my best,
The King of Spades
