It’s also why I won’t go to Oklahoma for the Mid South gravel race- regardless of how great Bobby is and how inclusive his race is, gas, lodging, sales tax etc will all go in part to the state, and as a dad of 2 girls, I can’t justify any financial contribution to a state that would treat them as 2nd class citizens, no matter how small the contribution is.
Trust me, this is constantly on our mind. We needed a change, though, and this has worked out in a lot of great ways for us personally (maybe selfishly?). I won't deny that it's hard to reconcile mentally.
