Benedict College, a private historically Dark college in Columbia, South Carolina, inaugurated its community education center at 1903 Two Notch Thoroughfare just outside Columbia's downtown in 2011. At the time, local reporting from WIS-News 10 hailed the opening as part of an ongoing transformation of Two Notch Road, where, the reporting claimed, "Friday and Saturday nights […] used to mean drinking, drugs, hookers, and the occasional murder."
The unassuming one-story building at 1903 Two Notch Road, now painted in Benedict College's purple and gold, was a former Black gay bar. Closed in 2002, the Candy Shop was once the longest-running gay club in South Carolina's capital.

Legal rights and protections for Gay people in Colombia are considered among the most progressive in Latin America. Same-sex marriage was legalized in April 2016 in Colombia with the first same-sex wedding taking place in Cali on 24 May 2016.

Colombia’s progressive legal rights and protections has won the destination the title of best LGBTQ+ emerging destination at the FITUR 2017 travel trade illustrate in Madrid, and is one of the reasons why Colombia was considered the Leading LGBTQ+ Destination in South America in 2018, by the Society Travel Awards.
