"Flagship University" with mascot "Gamecocks"?

SO Gay.

I'm sure some place in SC are gay-friendly, but in general, this is the same state that elected Strom Thurmon to congress for 6000 years. It is also the most religious of all the bible belt states.

And we all know what you get when you mix extreme right wing views (nazi?) with extreme fundementalists religious views.

Lot's of closet gays and an public 'non-acceptance of alternative lifestyles'. Proceed with caution.

Dr. Oran P. Smith, President of Palmetto Family Council, disagrees.

Said Smith, If the story is factual, and it appears that it is, the taxpayers of South Carolina are unwittingly funding one side of the culture war. State tourism dollars shouldnt be used to fund what is in essence a political agenda.--

Oran P? So very gay.

I'm betting few bars, hotels etc., would turn down money from gays, culture war or not. I expect old Oran would shit an Epistle if he saw two black gays holding hands.

FACTY!

I'm surprised that word doesn't get stuck in the throat of more South Carolinians. ;-)

LIPZOIDIAL

Actually Strom Thurmon served in congress for 39 million years. Only the creationists beleive that he served for only 6000.

I don't understand a business plan which narkets to a smaall demographic group and piss off a big demographic group. This couldn't be good for business, so it must be about a political agenda. Next when the gays start prancing around with no clothes, kissing, and having sex in public, I suppose it will be time to attack heterosexuals for talking about it.

because,FagWorriedThom, the vast majority of people really don't care about some other tourists' sexuality. It's only the paranoid tali-baptist sects that see a culture war (and then blame Satan when their pastor is found doing drugs with a male hooker).

All those southern restaurants that wouldn't serve black customers seemed to do all right once they started.
Disney faced the same idiots and their boycott, and ended up making more money. N.O. seems to make a boatload of money out of the debauchery of Mardi Gras. You Rightys should understand the free market system-supply a needed product or service to a wealthier group.

Isn't Senator Lindsay Graham from South Carolina???? Just asking, wink wink....

Thanks SC, you ignorant green teethed idiots, we'll be glad to take the gay tourists down here in sunny Fort LaDeDa. If only more places would be as morally courageous as the bible thumpers in SC.

"I don't understand a business plan which narkets to a smaall demographic group and piss off a big demographic group."

FWTHOM maybe you should ask the folks at Disney, they seem to be doing very well by marketing to both gays and straights, so are many of the cruise ship lines. Oh and BTW, I've lived here in Ft. LaDeDa for many, many years and I've never seen "prancing around with no clothes, kissing, and having sex in public" even once. I guess if you look for it hard enough, like some Republican politicians, you will find it though.

That was a good one.

My favorite college matchup is always Oregon State vs. South Carolina. Beavers vs. Cocks.

You need to move to Dubai for that. Or, apparently, Nanc's neighborhood.

"Next when the gays start prancing around with no clothes, kissing, and having sex in public"

I think they only really do that in your fantasies.

"the vast majority of people really don't care about some other tourists' sexuality"

That's correct up until they want to shove their sexuality down your throats. They can do as they please but they also think you should do as they please. You Lefties are more than happy to do as they please. And it is not just the homosexuals either.

So to speak.

"That's correct up until they want to shove their sexuality down your throats." Really, KBM. These fantasies of your are just SO graphic!

" They can do as they please but they also think you should do as they please. "

Link, please! Come on, KaBooM, one precious little link. herm

In your dreams...

.......they only do that in the White House after 4pm on Friday......

......open wide Turd Blossom........

All this homophobic hate from ignorant gash-lickers is soooo.....BORING!

Truthiness is:

Gays have money these days.

Lets make a deal: I'll stay away from your MTV Spring Break 'Girls Gone WILD' Nude-fests in Arizona and you stay away from my Easter weekend White Party Homo-Nudefests in Palm Springs.

Okey-Dokey?

You won't ever find me in South Carolina again since they don't sell decent fireworks there anymore and that's the only reason I ever bothered to go there.

I'm sure some place in SC are gay-friendly, but in general, this is the same state that elected Strom Thurmon to congress for 6000 years. It is also the most religious of all the bible belt states.

There are plenty of them. Charleston, Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg, Aiken. It doesn't excuse the ignorance of the backwoods fucks I'm surrounded by in my small town, but we're hardly any more intolerant than say, New York.

I'm sure you have some type of research or source to back up your claim that South Carolina is the most religious. What type of qualifiers do they use to determine ones level of religiousness? Do they just count the churches or the people who identify themselves as religious? Are we counting all religions or just the ones that offend your sensibilities?

Btw. His last name was spelled Thurmond.

And we all know what you get when you mix extreme right wing views (nazi?) with extreme fundementalists religious views.

So now the majority of South Carolinians are nazi's?

Godwin's law didn't take long to rear its ugly head, did it?

Thanks SC, you ignorant green teethed idiots,

Coming from someone who voluntarily lives in Florida, your point holds no value.

Fark.com has a "Florida" tag for a reason.

I bet you got all giddy about the NAACP boycotting tourism in South Carolina too. Hell, they're still doing it. Myrtle Beach has had explosive growth. There are two bike weeks, although the Myrtle Beach council is trying to away with them both (truly ignorant, even if there are safety issues)...Oh, and every time I walk through downtown Charleston, I see Canadian, French, British and well, just about all other types of people from all over the planet.

I think we'll be just fine.

If they announce they are not gay,
then obviously they are very gay.

Warmest regards,

when it comes to republicans, thats often exactly right.

Yes, gay people do live in South Carolina and many of us live in Columbia since it is one of the best places to be gay in the southeastern U.S. Points - the city of Columbia gives money to Pride (by unanimous city council vote, as a matter of fact) to promote gay travel to the city and the mayor and all members of city council have attended various gay community events. Please don't paint all of South Carolina with a broad brush. If we could cut off the upstate of SC we would be a predominantly blue state.

I lived in SC for 4 years. I know exactly how religious they are. And it's not that smart religious way either, it's that tali-baptist kind of way.

Every time I met someone, the first thing they would say is, 'what church do you go to'?

My answer was always the same,'I don't practice any form of canabalism'.

"My answer was always the same,'I don't practice any form of canabalism'."

How do they respond to that, Lippy? With flowers and mint juleps? herm

After I grew my beard I moved to South Carolina and when I wore my baseball hat that kinda looked like a turban, people would come up to me all the time and ask me what Mosque I attended. My answer was always the same, "I don't believe in fucking pigs".

I'd rather have Myrtle Beach filled with gays than the 300 lb. inbred loads shoved into bikinis that come there now. The real problem isn't that SC is gay, it's that it's LAME. (Chas excluded)

Would they also accept gay blacks?

"I don't understand a business plan which narkets to a smaall demographic group and piss off a big demographic group."

~FuckWit Thom

You coulda just left it at "I don't understand" and you woulda been fine.

Hell, even "I don't understand a business plan" woulda been accepted readily hereabouts by the vast majority.

Spud don't understand a business plan that doesn't want to make money.

The deliberately excludes in order to make some lunatic fringe of Talibaptist fucks feel better.

People who accept gay folks as being people as worthy of consideration and respect vastly outnumber those who think they can and should discriminate against them.

Gay folk and their supporters outnumber homophobes significantly.

Face it, unFwthomable, yer a morally bankrupt hater and yer kind are eventually going the way of the dodo.

Equal rights aint special rights.

Deal with it.

Be Well.

/SC can't be too bad of a place if Steven Colbert came from there.

//Sleepy now. Exiting the DR, as ya do,
atage left.

"I don't understand a business plan which narkets(sic)"

No shit?

Actually Strom Thurmon served in congress for 39 million years. Only the creationists beleive that he served for only 6000.

clever and funny!

Well I was born and raised here. I have lived in the low-country, the pee-dee and the mid-state areas. You are not a case study. So, basically you've admitted that you're full of shit when you claim that South Carolina is "the most religious of the bible belt states", since your only evidence is an obviously biased source.

Every time I met someone, the first thing they would say is, 'what church do you go to'?

Of the hundreds of people I've met for the first time, none of them has ever asked me "what church do you go to". It's never come up in the conversation. Ever.

Stereotypes are great. When you paint a state's populace with a broad brush, you demonstrate that you do not have the ability to serperate the good from the not-so-good.

How do they respond to that, Lippy? With flowers and mint juleps? herm

When your opinion of a region comes from Hollywood movies and films, it is a necessity to do some research. Didn't you know that South Carolinians are beer swilling rednecks?

We'd have to go to town to purchase the ingredients for a Mint Julep.

That would require us to take a bath more than once a week, put on our sunday-go-to-meeting-clothes and load the entire family (all 25 of us) into the buggy. You ever drive of buggy on them there paved roads? They'll slip right out from under you.
