This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't know but, being a damn Yankee and straight man, I was sure the gay rodeo was something you invented specifically for this plot. I was about to comment you should have a side plot that explains what a gay rodeo is and what it's purpose is.
Then I thought, "What if gay rodeo is a real thing and you could just look it up yourself?"
"But Self", I replied "Wouldn't a gay rodeo just be a rodeo?"
"Bro, you literally have access to all the worlds information at your fingertips- find out!"
So that's what I did. To my delight I found out I was right and wrong. Gay rodeo is pretty much just a rodeo, but it's also a safe space where gay folk that lived in a backwards ass culture could be themselves- and had been since the 1970's!
You definitely should add a side plot that explains what gay rodeo is and it's purpose, because it's beautiful :)
Good luck!
After Hank freaks and runs out, when he comes back to apologize there could be a wise, aged drag queen that explains the origins of gay rodeo! "I was there, in 73. The Yankees had Christopher Street day, and we thought 'well why the hell can't we have rodeo?'"
