Grew up in the hills myself. Hi to all you'ins. I grew up in Southern Ohio (Uh-hi-uh, rather--people in California used to ask me if I meant Hawaii.)

I was born and raised right across the river from Wheeling, there in that triangle between Kentucky and WVa. Can't say I'd want to live back there again, but the background now seems rich and colorful to me. Also, depressing, as it's known for, but every place is more complex than it's portrayed.

Back when, most gays/lesbians were super-closeted. It's probably way different now. Hope so, anyway. I do go back--all my family is still where they started. But I don't socialize there so I'm not sure what "the scene" is now. I kind of doubt there's an officially gay bar in our county, though there sure are lots of bars. Probably gays and lesbians "in-the-know" just tend to hang out in certain ones.

Glad to meet you. Hope you enjoy beautiful Kentucky.
