South Carolina is So Gay


Not only is South Carolina so gay, it is also so funny. South Carolina has been outed! So stand back and watch the shock and scandal ensue.

The ‘South Carolina is so gay’ poster pictured here was featured in the London subway "along with gay-themed ads for Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Washington, D.C."

Poor South Carolina. Is the state going to refund all those gay tourist dollars?

A state employee has resigned and officials have disavowed an international advertising campaign that led to calls for an investigation of tourism posters proclaiming “South Carolina is so gay.”

The campaign, which plastered the London subway with posters advertising the charms of South Carolina and five major U.S. cities to gay European tourists, landed with a resounding thud in South Carolina, where the issue of gay rights has long been a political flashpoint.
