American style conservative?

It's not like that, it's Canadian style Conservative with less exposure to gay people so people think it's "strange" I guess, some have really bad attitudes, some have good attitudes.

Ontario is huge and people are very Toronto centric when it comes to this province, but we have cities that are decently sized all over.

Thunderbay on Lake Superior I doubt is the greater; they have about 100,000 people or more, Sudbury I know for sure isn't the greatest to be gay in; they have 250,000.

Then there are little towns just scattered everywhere.

Look at the election results, it was just the GTA that voted Liberal, the rest; besides London, Niagara, and London area voted Conservatives.

My town is a part of the GTA but it's in the Green Belt so development is limited(Green Belt is ring of nature essentially surrounding Toronto area that has a freeze on development/ limits)

I would not feel comfortable being openly gay in the majority of Ontario;geography wise. Again not saying it's like the U.S or Russia, but there is subtle hostility.

Toronto sort of skews the rest of Canada's views of Ontario because they have the most people, but the full "acceptance" stops at Steeles Avenue in my opinion; thats the limit of Toronto, the outer suburbs and rest of Ontario is better than the majority of the world, but homophobia is still rampant.

Growing up a kid was killed in the next town over because he was gay; at least thats what the rumour was. I don't think it was "marked" officially as a hate crime but it was. If that's any indication, they literally shoved acorns up his ass. I hate that town with a passion.
