LIKE WE DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT: For those of us who aren't afraid of gay people, there's a message in this story about how demographics factor into one's attitude toward gay relationships:

Beware of poor old Southern folks who go to church a lot.

Or perhaps this is a better formulation:

Old religious rednecks are probably intolerant.

(Note: In this instance, I'm using 'redneck' to connote poor AND Southern. One might also argue it connotes intolerance, which leads us to "Watch out for old religious rednecks!")
