Everyone be sure to book their totally gay yoga session!

Hello Charlotte has ALWAYS had the nickname
“the Queen City.”
It lives up to its nickname.
Any questions?

I live right near Charlotte, in Rock Hill, SC…like 10 minutes from the border and 25 from Charlotte. I assure you there is nothing gay about this area except gay bashing. It is the fucking bible belt. Get over it….the Queen city has nothing to do with the Queens we talk about on this site.

@Shannon1981: I got Fagbashed in both Atlanta and Miami. What’s the difference? Neither of those cities are considered Bible belt, even though ATL sits in the middle of GD Georgia. The point is it happens every where in this backward nation.

I think exempting Atlanta and Miami from the bible belt is a mistake anyway, whether they are officially *considered* bible belt or not.
To that end, you are right. Happens everywhere. I got the shit beat out of me just last semester at my tech school and the security crew looked the other way. Doesn’t really matter, nowhere is safe.

To paraphrase the great W.C. Fields: I spent a year in Charlotte once. I think it was on a Sunday.
The most boring “city” I’ve ever been to. They don’t need to keep it open on my account.
