The Orange Curtain is the border between Orange County and Los Angeles County in the U.S. state of California. It is a sometimes derogatory, sometimes lighthearted term, that is used to describe Orange County's more conservative and suburban population as compared to the more liberal and urban population of Los Angeles.〔http://www.doubletongued.org/index.php/dictionary/orange_curtain/〕 The Orange Curtain is a word play on the so-called Iron Curtain which separated communist and capitalist Europe. According to Colleen Cotter, "Because (County ) has a reputation for political conservatism, people from Northern California especially worry about what happens 'Behind the Orange Curtain'."〔 Karin Aguilar-San Juan describes the Orange Curtain as being between 1890 and 1950, as "the region's controlling elite also embraced a John Birch-style ideology of white supremacy and small government. The song "Orange County Girl" by Gwen Stefani uses this term, stating "I guess behind the orange curtain it's not so bad." ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orange Curtain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
