It's not the War between the States in the south either. They call it, The War of Northern Aggresion.

It was not the "Civil War" ...It was the War Between The States!

I currently live in Hilton Head, SC, less than an hour drive from the US17 bridge, and have enjoyed Savannah every time I've been there. My favorite place is the riverfront. Of course, HHI is a great place to live, and where I'm located, Parris Island is right across the water from my house. Charleston is about 2 1/2 hr drive north on 17. Savannah is the northern end of the "Coastal Empire," and HHI is on the southern end of the "Lowcountry." There is no "class" like Southern Class."

@theirishrn Loved the movie ... went to visit Savannah ... If you make the trip to Savannah, you should also do some background and visit Charleston SC ... I believe Charleston has much more to offer ... a beautiful city with many plantations open in the area to visit ... Charleston has been used in many movies and TV series. There really is a lot of beauty in America to see.

This book is why I want to go to Savannah. Not for the scandals he describes but for the culture and beauty he describes. The Savannah described is a truly unique city, no matter what you are looking for. And no part is something to be embarrassed of. Just another, more colorful part of your own history, one that is often overlooked or outright ignored. But always interesting and worth a second look.

@megaswenson I see. Well, it looks like you've answered your question!

@floatshake Actually, there are quite a few people who have noted the anti-homosexual bias in movies that Gay people watched, back then. If I'm remembering correctly, The Celluloid Closet contains an interview with a Lesbian, mocking her friends for loving a movie about Gay Vampires, quoting them: "Well, at least it had Gay characters!" The fact that portrayals of Gays always had to be horrendously negative or demeaning was overlooked by Gays, who were grateful to see any portrayal AT ALL.

@floatshake I don't suppose an 'Agenda'. But it does seem to me that Eastwood (and perhaps others) sees the "proper place" for Gays as Little Maricones. So the Drag Queen is admirable (because she stays 'in her place'), while the Antiques Dealer is demonic, because he dares to identify as Gay, but dares to function outside the Gay Ghetto. Actually, I grew up in the Hollywood Hills, and my parents and their friends routinely pointed out that brand of Homophobia in a number of film people.
