yeah... it seems really great. beautiful, cheap, Durham is Democratic & liberal in the majority....
but.
but.
we have no rights in North Carolina.
i was just looking into the laws there...
i didn't expect to find Domestic Partnership laws for us Homos there... [& i was not surprised]
but we aren't protected from discrimination at all. AT ALL.
housing, employment... it isn't even a hate crime to beat us up or kill us.
WHAT'S UP NORTH CAROLINA?
so. yeah. that just doesn't make me happy at all.
i expected SOME protection.
o, but they have an LGBT Film Festival & a Parade.
wow.
this is disappointing. very.
& frightening.
is ANYBODY out there reading this? is it dangerous to be gay in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh?
because it seems risky.
i wasn't expecting anything like here in SF.
but... NO RIGHTS?
WTF???

How 'bout Portland? Come up!
rob h has a friend on duke faculty who apparently claims Durham has a good dyke scene...
isnt there a duke/durham queer listserv out there? you shd ask the locals...
r: i know... she didn't apply to anywhere near Portland. & it is such a great, green city.
d: apparently chapel hill DOES have domestic partnerships for us... & durham is the homo mecca of NC. i think if we decide to move we'll get a lawyer to make sure we have all our papers in order. we'll drop rob a line, too. thanks!
