We certainly applaud your open-mindedness. And to be fair, we did say "mostly restricted", didn't we? But the truth is that outside of Austin, which has over 1 million people in the metropolitan area, it's hard to find many folks in Texas who share our views. And while a liberal town of 100,000 like Denton is something to be admired, it's hardly stuck-up or presumptuous to make a statement like "most open-minded Texans reside in Austin." Let's not quibble over semantics; we have more important issues to discuss!</p> http://austinist.com/2005/06/14/perry_to_texas_more_gadgets_less_gays.php#comment-221083 http://austinist.com/2005/06/14/perry_to_texas_more_gadgets_less_gays.php#comment-221083 Comments Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:37:14 -0600 <p>It's pretty stuck up to think that Austin is the only open-minded city in Texas. That's presumptive and lame. And incorrect. Denton is a liberal college town north of Dallas. We were the only city in Denton County that voted >60% Kerry in the last election. </p>
