Have you spent any time in small town Alabama?  It's different, but not to the extent you may think.  Both cultures support insular thinking, because it's a feasible way to live.  In a city, you are thrown into the tossed salad, like it or not.

I had an openly lesbian math teacher in rural Minnesota in the early 00s who went around in public normally with her partner. I can't see that same thing being true in rural Alabama.
