Two lesbians are causing quite a controversy in North Carolina, where they hope to open a camp ground called – yes – Camp Lickalotta. The space would have been a “safe and non-threatening” environment for queer campers. Neighbors, however, were enraged at the news and said the lesbians should pitch their tents elsewhere.
The girls have since been issued an eviction notice and now the ladies are in search of a new location. While the ladies are weighing their options, some opponents are voicing their Kern-like objections:
: If they had just kept quiet about their purpose, most people probably wouldn’t have had any serious objections.
But that’s not really what the homosexual agenda is about. It’s about bringing sexual perversion out in the open, glorifying it, and forcing everyone else to accept it. If homosexual activists can’t do that, it’s not nearly as exciting, not nearly as much fun, not nearly as prideful.
I’m thinking that despite decades of erosion of moral values in America, there may still be enough sense of normality and what’s right that homosexuals, with this stuff and stuff like the transsexual bathrooms, are on the verge of overplaying their hand.
Thanks for the advice…

with some alteration ,the Kern report was right ” It’s about bringing sexual [diversity] out in the open, glorifying it, and forcing everyone else to accept it. If homosexual activists can’t do that, it’s not nearly as exciting, not nearly as much fun, not nearly as prideful.”
I recall once when a bunch of Drag queens etc invaded the Bohemoian Grove conservative enclave abouve San Fran. The Bohemian Club, to which my uncle belonged is one of the most extreme all male Right wing organizations in America all of the White rich Fucks in the country belong-ther presedents etc. It was as gas.
I love it when Gay people will just give a big finger to the conservative “normal” establishment, It might habve been a safer venture if they had been more descrete but we need to stand up and be proud now and again. We are being pushed face first into the mud by these hateful fanatics.
We can’t kid ourselves anymore. It’s part of the right wing escalation.

I’ve been reading the on-line postings about this site in my local paper. I was amazed at the amount of hated in those postings. It is a very sad indication of the bigotry in NC. That being said, however, I believe the ladies made a big mistake in their camp name. Knowing they are in the bigoted bible-belt, they should have chosen a less controversial name. I wish them all the best.

When you name your gay camp “Camp Lickalotta”, it’s going to draw fire in any community. North Carolinians, and specifically those of us from the Asheville area, are no more or less bigoted than anywhere else. Western NC is actually a pretty gay-friendly part of the world, but these folks might as well have named their place “Camp Munchalottabox”. The provocative name is what caused the initial problem. Being a gay North Carolinian, I am not surprised that someone with good intentions got hurt by bigots by being too confrontational, nor am I surprised at the bigoted reaction from some of my queer peers that paint North Carolina (and presumedly all states east of California and south of New England) with the same brush. They say all queers are evil because they’re ignorant and lazy. We say that whole swaths of the population are bigoted for the same reasons.

and P.S. to Dawster, I agree. Jeremy Butterfield is kinda cute.

As a fellow North Carolina native, I agree. I wish they would not have used the name “Camp Lickalotta”. No, its not internalized homophobia on my part. Its bad taste on their part.

Rutherford County, where the camp is located, has in place an anti-gay resolution. We tried to get it rescinded 10 years ago with a protest meeting at Lake Lure. Bravo to these brave women. There are some mountain families living in that area who are straight out of “Deliverence”, no lie. I hear the banjo’s strumming now. Not exaggerating.
