Gay Charleston

Melissa Moore was Interim Director for the South Carolina Equality Coalition (SCEC). Born & raised in Charleston, SC, she has worked to build a unified south and advancing human rights for her fellow South Carolinians. She attended the College of Charleston (the oldest College in the nation), where she earned a B.S. in Sociology & an appetite for activism. Her career began while working as an Executive Assistant for Alliance For Full Acceptance (AFFA) in Charleston. It was during that time that she was offered a part-time Volunteer Coordinator position with SCEC. She recognized SCEC’s enormous potential and thus continued her quest for social justice. She has, since, become Communications Director for a creative project soon to be announced. She is a bona fide bleeding-heart progressive & a card-carrying member of Wellstone Action, Carolina Alliance for Fair Employment (CAFÉ), AFFA, NAACP, SC Progressive Network, Charleston County Democratic Women… Her mission in life is to show the people of South Carolina how brilliant and wonderful they are and to spotlight the best and brightest among them. She promises to inject great fun into the work.
