Gay Charlotte

The Queen City

Don't let the name fool you, "The Queen City" doesn't have much of a gay community. This banker's town (Home to Bank of America's and Wachovia's HQ) is a great place for a quick business trip. You'll find southern hospitality wherever you turn. It's easy to get around "Uptown" (the center of the city) on the trolley car system and easy to get other places by car.
