Companies want to attract talents that help their companies thrive. Doesn't matter who they are.

But the LGBTQABCDEFG crew is "specially" talented. They have the prettiest flower arrangements on their desks and make the best dishes at potlucks. Its just hard to move a box of copy paper with a limp wrist.

There's a reason why Memphis and West Tennessee have stagnated and Nashville has thrived.

Nashville is much more welcoming. Not just for LGBT people, but for non-evangelicals, non-right wingers, non-American born persons, etc.

In Memphis (including Germantown)' "better neighborhoods", its really a lot of the Southern culture 'group think'. Its more of an elitism based upon who your parents were rather than what you do. Its a place to be from, not to move to.

Look, a lot of educated people from outside the Deep South aren't going to want to live in a sea of people who parrot Marsha Blackburn. Not. Going. To. Happen. They don't want their kids to pick her views up either. They find veneration of the Confederacy revolting. They are offended by people using their kids schools to evangelize.
