Bigots on the March
Green Cove Springs Florida (population 5,547) is just south of Jacksonville. It’s a looong way from here, but it’s not in the very northwest part of Florida, the western panhandle, which is culturally Alabama. So I would have expected just a little more enlightenment than it apparently has.
Green Cove enjoys a school administrator who won’t allow a woman to appear in a school yearbook in a tuxedo. Because she’s gay.
Rule are rules. Especially when made up on the spot (there are no written dress code rules in Green Cove regarding year book pictures).

Well, if Zell Miller, king of the hate-fest, is their kind of guy, it all starts to make sense….

It!
As a Jacksonville native, none of that surprises me. Northeast Florida culture is pretty similar to small-town, redneck Georgia, the same way the panhandle is similar to Alabama.
