North Carolina: State of Sodomy

by Matt Comer, January 7, 2009, 7:44 am

In response to an Arden, N.C. woman who said gays should go off and make their own “homeland,” Queerty gave us some suggestions of places to start.

North Carolina was included:

North Carolina
Pros: Offers both the mountains and the beach. Genteel southern living abounds and you haven’t lived until you’ve seen a Southern gay pride parade.

Cons: Is infested with Nancy Robertson of Arden, North Carolina.

But, totally, my favorite suggestion:

Rhode Island
Pros: Little Rhodey has a lot going for it. It’s small and thus easily defensible. David N. Cicilline, the mayor of Providence, is openly gay and will probably run for Governor next year. Lots of opportunities for guys who like to dress like sailors.

Cons: Sure, getting used to coffee milk and Dell’s Frozen lemonade would take some getting used to, but imagine all the drag queens running around Newport’s Breakers Mansion doing their best imitation of Glenn Close as doomed insulin-loving heiress Sonny Von Bulow in the classic, Reversal of Fortune.
