Prince Georges County: You new gay neighborhood?

”It’s a migration that happened without fanfare. They didn’t come here to prove a point. They are just looking for a safe place to live and be comfortable and raise their families, and we provide that.”

Justin D. Ross, Maryland Delegate for Prince George’s county, speaking with the Washington Post for an article about the changing face of Hyattsville and Mount Ranier, areas of northeast of DC which have a higher than average per capita ratio of gay families. (Washington Post)
