North Cackalacky here!

We've yet to explore much of the state, but we have a wish list including Asheville (e's been, but I haven't) where my oldest niece lives, and the Outer Banks.

Are you a lifetime resident, Dixie?

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!

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.

Jake

We spent a week kayaking on the New River - it went from NC into VA. Anywhere near you?

dizielady, no worries

It seems to be a pretty slow moving thread these days.. a few years back we had the same issue at the dash site in the NC thread. Thanks for starting it and following up

dixie · 07-30-2010, 08:38 PM

I'll be out and about in Asheville tomorrow and will probably hit the drag club tomorrow night. Also thinking about going tubing on the river Sunday, depending on the weather. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

PearlsNLace · 07-30-2010, 06:31 PM

Paphigleo and I are in Asheville.

We love meeting people in real time.

PearlsNLace · 10-01-2010, 12:34 PM

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.

Sweet. That's actually very close to where I live. The parkway is only a few minutes from my house. I love Linville Falls. It's really beautiful up there.

Awesome. I may just do that.

DomnNC · 10-02-2010, 08:09 AM

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.

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.
