    As a queer Bostonian born and raised - while there is massive racism and sexism Boston has also traditionally (with one big exception) supported strong counterculture movements and stood up to oppression. Pretty much every ethicnic group has oppressed and been oppressed by every other one and the city exists in a strange balance of mutual loathing that is somehow quite supportive.

      Sure but I think it’s important to separate the government of the city of Boston from the people who live here. My point was that Government signaling something doesn’t mean much and could be very temporary.
