As the oldest city in the state of Georgia, Savannah has a long and colorful history filled with interesting characters and beautiful places. From manicured parks and horse-drawn carriages to ornate pre-war architecture, it's no wonder that Savannah is one of the most visited cities in the South.

Therefore, hundreds of huge container ships sail the Savannah River every day. Because of what might seem like a lack of an LGBTQ scene, at least in the cultured and modern areas of Savannah, gays, lesbians, etc. are so well accepted, at least while I was living there, that there is no separation or need for specific events or spaces for the LGBTQ community.
