Offshore drilling company myrtle beach gay bar

A couple of folks took me to task for not organizing the event. Pride celebrations are most definitely an affirmation of the fact that as a community, we are no longer segregated from mainstream society. We are no longer forced into the secret clubs in the less desirable sections of cities because we fear arrest or other forms of persecution.

In bar, most of our clubs are now the favored celebration spots of gay straight allies. For more years that I care to admit, I can recall a steady stream of vehicles heading this way from the Upstate to enjoy the once numerous bars and clubs. Many of those clubs are no longer open but they contributed significantly to the mainstream profile that we enjoy today.

These iconic clubs assured us that Myrtle Beach was not only the place where the celebration never ended but that there was also a rainbow respite from the angst of growing up gay in one of the reddest of the red states. I believe for most of the gay community, both young and experienced, that time has passed.

We have progressed from being classified as persons with a psychological disorder to one of the most significant voting blocs in the country. Politicians now realize that our endorsements and our votes can make a difference in their careers. They organize their campaigns to appeal to us by offshore supporting our causes.

As I am writing this, there are people organizing events locally and nationally in anticipation of a ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States regarding same-sex myrtle. Our progress In the last several years has been remarkable. We also have two major protestant denominations, the Lutheran Church and the Episcopal Church, with openly gay persons serving as clergy and as bishops.

Politicians such as Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin would once have had no hopes for careers, but have been able to serve our country on a national drilling without fear. It signifies the direction our nation is headed. We may still have our critics but they are more often beach dismissed as out of touch and spiteful.

So, while we may not have an official week of Gay Pride this month in our corner of the Carolinas, we have many reasons to be proud and without fear. But now, our Pride parades also contain a large contingent of folks from the faith communities, PFLAG and other groups that at one time would not be associated company our community.

Well, no Gay Pride. Like Loading I'm passionate about the issues and living my life out in a small Southern town. Humor is my best defense and I hope to see my state South Carolina step forward on equality one day very soon.
