As someone that lived in Virgina for 24 years and recently moved to WA state, I'll throw in my .02 too.
I came from Northern Virginia (approx 30 E/NE of DC). It's very bible belt, people are not tolerant of gay people. They do tend to wave when you're going down the street though, or driving by. The schools in my area (Loudoun County) were fast approaching the max and by the year I graduated (98) two schools were already over max with one twice max.
On the other hand, it's a BEAUTIFUL state. Very green but also very humid, with somewhat mild winters. (It'll snow, but unless it's in the middle of a cold snap, you're likely to have the roads clear in a day or two.)
