Love and hate in Laramie
Minkowitz, Donna | July 12, 1999 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the sexual orientation of the people in Laramie, Wyoming. Lesbian and gay lovers stay in the sexy little rooms of the luxury restaurants all the time, along with the University of Wyoming's most prestigious visitors. Sometimes the town's yups come to stay for the night just to feel well-off and taken care of. The feminist movement has never been very strong here, and the incidence of rape and domestic violence against women and children is extraordinarily high. Last year, approximately one in twelve local women reported battering or sexual assault on herself or a child to Laramie's antiviolence project.
