Dude, go live in any other region of the US. Eastern Mass might as well be Eden.

I grew up in Alabama. Some of y'all's sense of backwoods / scary areas are laughable. As a trans non-binary person, MA is the safest place I've felt in the US.

I’m from here, and have lived across the US. Boston’s bigoted reputation is laughable if you’ve spent any time in almost any other state.

It’s mind-blowing to me that people actually have this take. The most conservative people I know from MA, still don’t hate the people they disagree with.

At times parts of Boston would have gutted your good old boys not for the color of their skin but for existing in that space at that time. And some parts for color too.

"Safe" is relative.

You also realize this is a state that at one time made the south blush right? And that was the fucking 70s.
