We have many friends that are open here, more than when we lived outside of Chicago (but that had much more to do with the small town & county we were living in...). This county is much more accepting of very many different lifestyles, but as Robguz mentioned...it is a "small rock". You will find that many people know you from word of mouth, and that long time residents know much about almost everyone.
One of the most unusual things here is how many people you meet are related to someone else you know, and also how you will find that people divorce & still remain in social circles....makes for interesting social gatherings..."oh, he was married to her, but now is with this person, - oh and you don't want to mention this with this other person who was with this person".... and they all still remain in a social circle!
