18 and Life: Where Edgy Youth Culture and Flamboyance Meet


The mean streets of Columbia, South Carolina....1992......the Strom Thurmond re-election parade had just went by.....18 and Life and his BFF (Best Friend 4-Eva!) Simon had just finished tossing spoiled oranges at the passing motorcade..... this cozy snapshot captured the raw exuberance of the moment.... oh, to be young, gay, and a skater in bustling South Carolina ('The Jewel of the South') during the heyday of 'Thurmond Country'.....
Above them, a refuge within the city, the Copenhagen Gay Center.....a place to read comics, play PlayStation games, and watch vintage Joel Schumacher films....
