Considering relocating to Texas
As for acceptance and tolerance, I believe that for the most part you can find that (and the opposite ilk) just about anywhere you go. There are a fair amount of a#*holes in any demographic large enough to be discernable. Find an area that accommodates the lifestyle you live, a climate you can tolerate most times of the year, and settle in to make some new friends. I've lived in Texas all my life, and I don't want to go anywhere else.
