Do you ever catch flack because of the state you live in?

A friend of mine moved to my state (Arkansas) to marry a man she basically met online.

Now that she lives here, all she does is talk crap about how terrible Arkansas is. How no one is cultured and everyone is homophobic.

This irritates me to no end. I do realize that Arkansas isn’t the greatest place to live, but its my home and I don’t appreciate someone bitching about this stuff constantly.

Does anyone else catch grief because of where theyre from? I’m about to tell this ‘friend’ to kiss off and go back where she came from.
