Joe! Right on! It's great to hear from other homos in small town America. We aren't all supposed to live in big cities-- as much fun as they can be at times. I''m sure you are not in fact the only gay man in your town. You might just be the only out gay man you know there. Keep being the best person you can be, and you will shape other people's perspective of all us gay people. I live in Oneonta NY, just a tiny bit bigger than your town, but in a very rural place. It's good to be gay here.
Best of luck to you.
