    I went to school in West Texas (bigotry Central). In elementary school in the mid-80s, it was tradition that the 6th grade class always put on a performance of ‘Guitarzan’ for the annual talent show, and EVERY year it was tradition that Jane was played by a male student.

    The main difference of course is that it was played as humorous. A joke with a ridiculous coconut bra.

    So it’s not that Texans have a problem with cross-dressing itself, but with taking seriously anyone who isn’t ashamed of it.

    Which to me seems to make it even worse. I hate this state.
