The name of that little town kept bugging me yesterday as I edited this story. It sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite remember why. It finally hit me just now. I've written about that little town, and what I had to write wasn't very pleasant.

I've actually kept up with events since then, and the foul homophobe at the center of the story is still up to no good, still doing everything he can to use his government power to stop people from reading about LGBTQ issues.
And yes, he still dresses like Boss Hog from the Dukes of Hazzard, and he still sneers as he speaks at public meetings, sneers while saying the words gay and transgender, like just uttering them is painful.
