Where is the best public place for a gay person to make out there (or isn't there one)?
Riverside County has a series of ordinances to reduce light pollution. Palm Springs has been especially diligent in adhering to these policies. This creates a stunning canopy of stars which blankets the sky unlike anywhere else in Southern California.

How "out" are you where you live?
TOTALLY, more than half of the elected officials and the majority of cultural events are queer oriented. I'd always imagined life is pretty dull for a breeder in this town.

What was the last vacation you took? Where did you go? Where do you most want to go?
The last vacation I took was on a cruise to Mexico - loved every minute of it! There's nothing like being on the open water, staring at the ocean and the sky - and having tons of time to do absolutely nothing but relax. I have always wanted to do a Mediterranean cruise and visit the Greek Isles as I am adopted and believe that my heritage is from that part of the world.

I have never actually been on a vacation but I have done quite a bit of traveling. I would love to go on a gay cruise to Cancun or to the Caribbeans

Are any famous people from your town?

Cedric The Entertainer, Nelly.

What are some of the things you love most about your town?

I love how about 75% of the people are use to the whole gay thing and could care less. Gay people can be open with there relationships and show PDA.

Where is the best public place for a gay person to make out there?

In my own opinion, anywhere. I don't believe in "sanctioned" make-out places. This world is ours as much as it is anybody else's.

What's the nearest city to "let loose" in, and on what occasion do you go there?

Washington, DC - right across the river. I actually don't go into the city as much as I used to. For a while, it started to seem like all the gay bars there were the same, so my boyfriend and I stopped going as much and started going to a local gay haunt in Crystal City called "Freddie's". However, in the past few months we've started go back into the city more often.

Sexuality: Homosexual

What's the nearest city to "let loose" in, and on what occasion do you go there?

A really great thing Spartanburg offers is that it is so close to Atlanta (2 hours), Charlotte (1.5 hours), Columbia (1.5 hours), and Asheville-NC (dubbed "San Francisco of the East"). Out of the four, I try to get to Asheville at least four times a year to go record shopping or catch touring bands.

How "out" are you where you live?

Completely, but I'm also pretty butch (even my hetero-male friends think so!), so my "out" status is sort of nullified.

Where is the best public place for a gay person to make out there?

My town is backwoods. You can make out virtually anywhere and no one would see you: the woods, the river, in the middle of a field. It's your choice.

What's the nearest city to "let loose" in, and on what occasion do you go there?

Poplar Bluff, MO. The population is only like 16,000, but surprisingly, there are two gay bars there. You have to go there in order to exist to the outside world. If you need Walmart, that's the place to go.

How "out" are you where you live?

I am totally out to friends and fam.

Where is the best public place for a gay person to make out there (or isn't there one)?

There is a park recreation area down by the river on the other side of the main bridge. It has a view of the town and the river. Its nice actually at night with the city lit up. I would not recommend making out in public because there is small town minds in Ottawa. Some may frown and others don't care.

What's the nearest city to "let loose" in, and on what occasion do you go there?

Bloomington, IL. There are a couple gay bars featured there and I usually let loose on the weekends down there on no special occasion.
