Known as “The Land of the Clouds” since 1876 from a book by the same title, Asheville is quickly becoming touted as a favored spot for both visitors and new residents of the gay and lesbian community. Renowned for its tolerant and diverse attitudes, Asheville has become a gay Mecca of the twenty-first century while maintaining the ambiance of another era. Referred to as the “happiest place in the United States” by author Eric Weiner in his 2008 publication The Geography of Bliss, Asheville is enjoying a resurgence of energy in both professional and leisure opportunities that make it a major contender for gay-friendly cities on the rise.

Asheville is not only a city of progression but of integrity and fortitude, with a strong sense of community. This devotion to fellow citizens extends from such far reaching corners as the Asheville Quaker church, which gained recent headlines in its support of gay rights, to the Chamber of Commerce and the promotion of city diversity. Strength in the face of adversity is a quality that all gay men and women must call upon in daily life, and Asheville exemplifies this determined survivor mentality. Being the hardest hit region per capita during the Great Depression after a period of prosperity, Asheville drew itself up by the proverbial bootstraps, refused to admit defeat and paid back the debt over a period of fifty years. The up-side to this period of slow economic recovery was a compilation of Art Deco buildings that were left virtually unaltered…picture a piece of Miami on the Blue Ridge Parkway...
