Visit Gay Charlotte is about to celebrate one year of serving the community as your free community portal – and we’re just gettiing started.

• A retrospective look at the stories, peoples and events that shaped the year since our launch

• A Site ReDesign

• Full Covergare of Pride Charlotte

• A Feature Interview with Gil Croy, Artist and Designer behind the Our Lives, Our Culture, Our Time Mural (see our pictorial and video progress article)

• Celebrating the 33rd year of the The Miss Gay North Carolina America Pageant

• And an Open letter to the DNC 2012 Convention Goers on why their presence is needed and appreciated by the Charlotte LGBT Community

And folks – that’s the start of a new year.   With the most exhaustive (and utilized) events calendar and directory of LGBT events and services in the Charlotte region we are only going to be growing bigger, stronger, and more empowered to celebrate you!
