Being a left-winger from Los Angeles, Lawrence is a refreshing blast of progressive air in the middle of conservative Kansas. My boyfriend is from Paradise, Kansas, and his sister went to law school at KU (go Jayhawks!) and while visiting her I fell in love with Lawrence. It’s just so charming and has such a great history of maverick thinking. Everybody’s really nice too, but then again most Kansans are very nice, whether they like you or not. Shoot, we’ll probably end up there in old age, a couple of gay hippies running a llama farm or something, ha ha!
