Southern Pride is our monthly column exploring and celebrating LGBTQ culture in Southern cities. This month we're heading to the Palmetto State to check out the scene in Charleston.
From the charm of its historic cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriages to its nearby beaches, Charleston lures people from all walks of life who love history, art and elegance. And while this gem of a town is nestled in the heart of one of America’s most conservative states, it has become both a haven and a little slice of heaven for members of the LGBTQ community.
