Solution
Buffalo Wyoming is a very small town. It is situated in the rural and conservative state of Wyoming. I grew up before there was internet. I was also raised Southern Baptist. My family didn’t travel. There is a very small amount of diversity in Buffalo. When I was a child, the only people that were not white were Basque and there weren’t that many Basque there. I grew up before Ellen. LGBTQ was not even a thing. I had heard that our gym teacher was a lesbian and that our typing teacher was a lesbian but that was it. I was raised to believe that EVERYTHING is a sin. We didn’t even understand what being gay was. It was mocked and people used slurs.…………..please follow the link below to access the solution at $5
