Midwesterner here. This is correct. Though it's missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.

Also the homemade signs on the farmers land. As a kid, I always got a kick out of a sheet of plywood that had been painted with a simple message: "outlaw sodomy."

Painted by someone who clearly thinks about buttsex more than the average gay man.

I'm always amazed all those adult superstores can stay open with the internet, but I guess porn is only a fraction of their inventory

The answer to your query is Glory Holes. Tons of closeted gay repression in conservative parts of the world.

True.

Also, even for those of us who are out, they sell better sex toys than Spencer's, better lube than Walgreens, and are the only place to buy Wildberry incense for some reason.

And the workers are some of the genuinely nicest people you can meet in the Midwest.

don't forget the giant sign that just says JESUS. Nothing else, literally just that.

There's the same sign in NC/SC, plus the SOTB Pedro signs
