Midwesterner here. This is correct. Though it’s missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.

don’t forget the giant sign that just says JESUS. Nothing else, literally just that.

There’s the same sign in NC/SC, plus the SOTB Pedro signs

I’m always amazed all those adult superstores can stay open with the internet, but I guess porn is only a fraction of their inventory

The answer to your query is Glory Holes. Tons of closeted gay repression in conservative parts of the world.

True.

Also, even for those of us who are out, they sell better sex toys than Spencer’s, better lube than Walgreens, and are the only place to buy Wildberry incense for some reason.

And the workers are some of the genuinely nicest people you can meet in the Midwest.

Also the homemade signs on the farmers land. As a kid, I always got a kick out of a sheet of plywood that had been painted with a simple message: “outlaw sodomy.”

Painted by someone who clearly thinks about buttsex more than the average gay man.

I swear midwesterners have that mentality because you’ll only have that car for 5 years before it rusts out. Gotta get as many miles as you can!

That lions den has been closed for a while now. Probably since before the pandemic.

Shame, that was a staple of the cross Iowa road trip. Always kind of wanted to stop in just after seeing those signs for my entire life

I always point them out to the wife when we don’t have the kids. One of these times we might see what’s in there.

All the HELL IS REAL and anti-abortion billboards too.

The Chicago as a reference point had me cracking up.

Just another 500 miles and I’ll be home!

There’s a German style brewery in Columbus, Ohio that sells black shirts with red block lettering that say “Helles Real” and I think it’s the best thing ever
