You didn't read all his post if you think he was no singling out the south for being more prone or accepting:

I'm amazed how LONG it has taken for this to get national attention, though. I mean, we have the internet now; it's not like people are segregated information-wise. Seems like people in the South will go a long way to keep things under wraps as far as what really goes on down there. Not shocking, but pretty shameful.

I'm sick of people who have never set foot in the South making blanket assumptions about everyone who lives here.
