Abstract:

In 1997, five Mecklenburg County commissioners, so incensed that the Charlotte Repertory Company was presenting plays with gay themes, completely cut out the commission's annual $2.5 million contribution to the local Arts and Science Council. In a recent election voters replaced four of the five with art supporters.
