I am definitely glad my parents settled in Los Angeles, CA. This beautiful state has it all. Cultural diversity, night life, freeways, lots of mexicans, Antonio Villaraigosa and yeah sure, lesbians. I would shoot myself if I lived anywhere else. I have a friend who visited Alabama and he has some horrible stories. Not only can we party and win championships lika a "motha" but we are also a lot more compassionate towards others. No matter you religion, sex, legal status, whatever. Truly a Great American State.
