    Anecdotal. You don’t encounter many LGBT folks in rural areas, the stigma is still too strong. You would get physically assaulted in certain situations. Trans folks are unheard of, except in media.

    It’s not until you get closer to urban areas that they become a little safer and more comfortable expressing themselves.

    90% is just a rough estimate of the ratio of urban to rural.
