So, it is not surprising that a crowd went wild at a Vermont high school homecoming football game as they cheered on a halftime show that transformed the field into a fabulous drag ball. While the state ranks third in the largest percentage of LGBTQ+ adults at 5.3 percent (higher than the national average of 4.5 percent), there are no gay bars in Vermont, though there are plenty of gay-friendly establishments. The state also loves its eccentricities, which is evident by the number of “Keep Vermont Weird” bumper stickers you see on cars. While it may have a small population, it’s a very vocal population who loves a good cause to get behind. The state has the smallest state capital, Montpelier. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa among the territories.
It only beats out Wyoming among the states and the territories of Guam, U.S.
The state is 49th in population among the 50 states and ranks below Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. While I said it this time, it was a very good and heartwarming statement. I often say, “Only in Vermont,” and when I say it, I am often rolling my eyes.
