Hi everyone :)

I'm curious about the NC LGBT community - more specifically, the B-F community, and most specifically, in the Raleigh-Durham area. I'm considering a future move to the area and was wondering what to expect in regards to community, visibility, etc.

Can anyone tell me anything? Any information anyone is willing to offer would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

[Hack]

Hey, Lyric...

I spend a lot of time in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill because my sister and her family live in Raleigh. I've dabbled in the queer community down there, so I can help a bit.

Chapel Hill is a fairly liberal town, and seems to be the most liberal of the three. Durham is pretty queer friendly too, for the South. Raleigh tends to be a little ... what's the word...antiseptic, maybe? The queer community in Raleigh seems to be a bit male-centric, in my opinion. A bit more female-centric in Durham. Chapel Hill is all over the map...tree-huggers, queers, liberals, etc. I socialized briefly with a femme in Durham on one trip down there. She indicated to me that community there (b-f) was kind of skimpy.

Overall, I love it there...always lots going on and lots to do.

[lyric]

Jake, thanks so much for the quick response and the information!

My mother lives in Raleigh. I called her earlier this evening to ask her what she's observed, but she's pretty much clueless. I've been doing some research online, but what I'm finding are mostly nightclub reviews and old advertisements for NC Pride. From what you've offered, the Chapel Hill area sounds more eclectic and closer to what I'm looking for. I lived in eastern Tennessee for a while and relocated to the DC area about five years ago, and while I enjoy aspects of the community here, I'm looking to move somewhere a bit warmer and a bit less expensive than DC, where we can be out and queer without a lot of hassle. I know that some places in the south are a little iffy, and I don't really want to plant myself in an area that is less than accepting and especially where my partner would feel uncomfortable.

Thanks again for what you've shared! I really do appreciate your help.

[Miss Scarlett]

Please don't ask me why it never occured to me that there would be a North Carolina thread here...I am such a total bimbo sometimes!

Greetings from the Charlotte Metro and Maggie Valley areas!

Lyric have you checked out the Q-Notes (http://www.q-notes.com) website? It's the LGBT paper for NC & SC. There's a community resource guide (qguide) on their site for the Raleigh/Triangle area. An LGBT Community Center just opened up in Raleigh too. I'll see if I can come up with some more info for you. But that's a good place to start.

[lyric]

Thank you, Miss Scarlett! I'm so grateful for the link. I've bookmarked it and will check it out tomorrow when I'm not quite so brain dead. :)

[sweet_goldie_grrl]

well I definitely live in NC!! I don't see a lot of members from this site who live in NC . . . everyone else lives in texas or california! :sigh:Well, I know not EVERYONE else lives there but it sometimes seems so. Anywhoo.....i'm subscribin' to this!!

Raleigh here, and not a fan. I wouldn't recommend this city to anyone, for any reason. (!!!) Not that I dislike it that much, but that there are decidedly better places to live. Then again, I moved here from New York, so it's a tough comparison. I'm considering relocating "inside the belt line" which has a little more going on, and feels less sprawled than where I live at present.

You're correct about Durham (has 2 good sized "clubs") and Chapel Hill. If it weren't such a long commute for me, I think Chapel Hill would be my choice.

[Miss Scarlett]

Happy Spring to my fellow Tarheels!

:cheerleader:

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far and that we can finally say farewell to winter!!

My sister and her family live inside the beltline, and I would recommend it. It seems a lot nicer than the sprawled areas. They live near the Five Points area, and really like it. I enjoy Raleigh whenever I visit, but a lot of my visit tends to revolve around my three year-old niece, so there's lots of visits to parks, the natural history museum and things like that. Raleigh is still on my list of places to possibly relocate to someday.

The latest issue of Q-Notes has a great article about Raleigh and its potential for a Castro-type gayborhood for NC. Here's the link:

[GentleAndro]

Asheville is definitely the high mark of queer visibility in North Carolina, but there are other places as well: Charlotte, Durham and then Chapel Hill and Raleigh trailing.

As for b/f, it's mostly various forms of butch on butch (or bisexuals who are femme on femme) in any place but Asheville.

[TenderKnight]

Hello, tarheels!

I am currently in California, but was born and raised in NC, the Charlotte area, and my family still live there. My mom actually owns a metaphysical book shop in Monroe, NC and is VERY gay friendly. Trans friendly too, lol. I miss NC sometimes, but mostly the land.. I have a very strong connection to the earth and the mountains of NC.

I hope to be visiting at some point this year.. Will keep everyone updated :)

Hello fellow Tar Heels.. I am actually going to be moving back to NC next year, thinking about settling down in or around Asheville.. I know that there are few folks on here from Asheville, including some trans folks. I am just wondering, are there any local groups or resources for transguys in the area? I looked up some info and found a group, but it looked like it was geared more toward MTF's.

Thanks for any info and I am sooo looking forward to being back to my home state :)

HICKORY, NC, September 9th, 2010 -- Today, Catawba Valley Pride, Inc. announced the first ever Catawba Valley Gay Pride. The event will take place from Friday October 15th through Sunday the 17th. A 5pm seminar at Lenoir-Rhyne University will kick off Pride weekend followed by food and dance at Market on Main. The night will conclude with shows and dancing at Pride Night at Club Cabaret.

On Saturday, a Pride Picnic from 10am to 3pm on the grounds of Unifour Christian Fellowship in Newton will include vendors, a picnic display competition and entertainment on the outdoor stage with gospel music performed inside the sanctuary. Saturday events continue with a Pride Youth Dance at an area church and “Not Your Mama’s Bingo” at Quality Inn & Suites—an entertaining fundraiser supporting ALFA and Catawba Valley Pride. Club Cabaret will feature a night of shows and contests spotlighting the return of drag personality Nancy Newton.

To wrap up the weekend, various area churches will include programs in their Sunday Morning Services that affirm the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, two-spirited people, and their supporters.

The mission of Catawba Valley Pride, Inc. is to provide an annual opportunity to generate celebratory, cultural, artistic, and educational events which affirm the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, two-spirited people, and supporters through activities which promote unity, inclusion, and awareness of sexual and gender diversity as well as to increase public awareness of the LGBT community so as to eliminate homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination. The organization focuses on but is not limited to the following counties: Alexander, Allegheny, Ashe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, Watauga and Wilkes.

This event is open to all LGBT citizens and their supportive friends and families. For more information about Catawba Valley Pride weekend (October 15-17) and for volunteer or sponsorship opportunities, please send an email to: admin@catawbavalleypride.org or visit the web site: www.CatawbaValleyPride.org for further details.

Paphigleo and I are camping on the Blue Ridge Parkway October 8th and 9th, at Linville Falls. There are still some spots available. Reserveamerica is where you get the sites. Dogs ok on leashes. 19 bucks a night. Campfires yes. Flushing toilets yes. No electric, this in NOT a KOA fluffy camping, nor is it rustic pee in da bushes, and its also drive up, easy access to site.

Just throwing that out there, it would be great to see some Planeteers.

[DomnNC]

Lordy, I haven't camped at Linville in years! They didn't have the facilities you are talking about there then, lol, it was all total wilderness camping. I took my nephew, who was about 9 at the time, had a blast! Ya'll have a great time and don't feed the bears, lol. I love driving that gravel road all the way to the top of the mountain and sitting on the rock ledge just watching the day go by.

I haven't missed a Pride event here in nearly 10 years but decided to not attend Pride Charlotte this year (even though I am one of the founders and past co-chair of the event). Last year was my first year attending as a "civilian" but I was unable to enjoy the event because vendors, media, committee members, and even leaders of the anti-LGBT protest groups approached me constantly for help, advice and answers.

I considered driving up to Sheville for their festival but decided to just take it easy this weekend...

I am thinking of applying for a job with Equality NC. I was wondering if any of you could share any thoughts or views of this organization with me. Do they have it together? Do they seem effective? Any personal experiences with them positive or negative?

If you could send your views to me via PM, I would appreciate it. I don't get on this site daily, and I would hate to miss anyone's post.

Thank you,

The Rapture After Party in North Carolina - "the best damned party in NC" - is among the planned events.



...The Rapture After Party in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a two-day event organised by the Central North Carolina Atheists and Humanists.

Same sex marriage is on the ballot on May 8th. All you NC people please register and go vote. This vote is not only for same sex couples it is for domestic partners in the heterosexual world too. Many companies in NC offer benefits for domestic partners, however should your domestic partner die, you are not their next of kin or any kin to them for that matter, unless this bill passes.

GO VOTE GO VOTE GO VOTE
