I used to live in Lynchburg and while depressing, this isn't remotely surprising. Lynchburg is Jerry Fallwell's town, and when I lived there in 2000 it was a known thing that student snitches from Liberty University were staking out both the movie theaters and the town's lone sex store to make sure other Liberty students weren't engaging in sin (seeing an R-rated movie or buying some edible panties I guess). The rules this university imposed upon grown adults was fucking WILD.
it's a dog-shit awful place and my heart breaks for these LGBT kids who are stuck growing up there :(

The archive says, "Lynchlroy," but I'm guessing it's Lynchburg, Virginia

Had a good ride with great friends yesterday. Heat was tolerable in the morning but damn near deadly the final leg of the ride. Fall’s Mill and Museum was the first stop. A very cool old mill on some beautiful land. Then off to Lynchburg for lunch. We were early so slipped into a winery for the air conditioning. A nice Chardonnay spoke to the sophisticated gentleman in me (chuckle, chuckle, snort, snort). A BBQ lunch, a bit of shopping on the courtyard, and then back on the road. A final stop at Prichard’s Distillery. A little tasting of whiskey and brandy to finish the day.
The ride out was fabulous! The backroads on northern Alabama and southern Tennessee are always pleasant and sometimes fun and the scenery is beautiful. That first turn from the highway to the first backroad has an amazing affect on my soul. Immediate peace.
A good burger run with friends!

Danny Lyon a young civil rights worker passing through the area took this photo of the girls locked in the stockade. after it went on a major news service the next day it gained national attention. this forced the state of georgia to account for the girls locked in the stockade in Lynchburg illegally.
The public outcry was so strong the entire civil rights cry was amplified. the sight of these young girls locked in this storage room with nothing, for so long meant something had to change
