If it's ok to be gay in "The South"..

[GoCubsGo]

8. Yep. It all depends on where you are.

Here in South Carolina, there are areas within the state where folks tend to be more accepting of gays. I have been told by some of my gay friends that some of the more urban areas, Charleston and Columbia, in particular, are more gay-friendly. Edgefield County, too, for reasons I don't completely understand. Somebody suggested that had something to do with the horse "industry", which attracts people from all over the place, including Europe, which is definitely more accepting. I'm sure one sees the same sort of thing outside the South.

One of my friends pointed out that she and her partner rarely had difficulties, but that she had observed that gay men were harassed far, far more often. Who knows why...
