The decline of Charlotte's queer third spaces

Charlotte, North Carolina, a small yet growing city in the South, has a surprisingly rich history when it comes to queer spaces. In 1968, a prominent venue emerged known as The Scorpio. A pioneer in queer spaces in terms of diversity and inclusivity, Scorpio is still in business today. With such a pillar still around, you would think queer spaces are valued and protected. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Opening chapter: Fort Mill businesswoman opens town's first bookstore

FORT MILL — Downtown Fort Mill is home to a mix of places to grab a bite to eat or find a gift for a friend. Lauren Randar decided it was time to turn the page and add a bookstore to the town’s growing list of offerings. She’s already local business owner, with her graphic design company, Tied & Two, operating there for six years.

These Charlotte Democrats have majority for first time. How will they use power?

Democratic Mecklenburg legislators say they’re eager to execute on long-awaited priorities after their party captured a majority in the North Carolina House for the first time in 16 years. House Democrats are expected to have a near-supermajority in the new legislative session after flipping seats across the state in Tuesday’s election. Republicans appear to have narrowly held onto their majority in the state Senate, if potential recounts and the final canvass don’t change outcomes. But Democrats picked up several seats there, too. In Mecklenburg County, state Sen. Vickie Sawyer will be the only Republican left in the legislative delegation after former Matthews town Commissioner Ken McCool defeated GOP state Rep. Tricia Cotham. State Rep. Mary Belk easily secured a sixth term in the House, where she represents south Charlotte’s District 88. Despite her long tenure, this will be her first time in the majority. Belk told The Charlotte Observer she had an inkling it could be a good year for Democrats given frustration among voters with the status quo and indicators of high voter turnout.
