Gay Hell, Michigan that is...

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gay-hell-elijah-daniel-trump-michigan_n_5d087b17e4b0886dd15dfe26

John Colone has been trying to sell the five-acre town since 2016. It was on the market then for $900,000, per the Free Press. It’s not clear how much Daniel paid for Gay Hell, or how long he’ll hang onto it.

This was not Daniel’s first encounter with “Michigan’s Hysterical Town.” In 2007, Daniel paid to be mayor of Hell for a day — and barred all heterosexuals from entering — before he was impeached.

“Growing up, I was always told that homosexuals would go to Hell,” he wrote at the time. “Now the heterosexuals are trying to take this from us too.”

I don't see how this 5 acres in Michigan is taking a swipe at Trump? But what's apparent to me is that there sure are a lot of troubled people.

A lot of these people are attention seekers. It won't affect most gay peoppe, it's just gesture politics. All the people on social media mistakenly feel that they've achieved something by sharing the story.

It's like all those protestors who wander around with funny (or supposedly funny) placards. What happens? Newspapers photograph them and life goes on as usual.

Given the amount of money this guy has, couldn't he donate it to counseling services etc for gay youth or something? It would be more helpful to them

Totally OT, but, back in 1987 when I was living in Michigan, I drove over to Hell and participated in the 4.8 mile "Run through Hell". Came in 147th out of 510, and averaged a 7:24 mile. Oh, to be thin and fast again.

There is a Hell in Norway too. It regularly freezes over.

"Okay, splash on that cheap cologne, put on the Anita Bryant tape, and let's POLKA!"
