North Myrtle Beach leaders to vote on use of gender-neutral language in city codes North Myrtle Beach leaders to vote on use of gender-neutral language in city codes By Katherine Phillips | January 31, 2021 at 6:08 PM EST - Updated February 1 at 8:06 PM NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - The City of North Myrtle Beach will discuss a proposed ordinance involving the use of gender-neutral language within the city’s Code of Ordinances this week. The agenda for Monday states “Codes of Ordinances in many cities, including North Myrtle Beach, primarily contain masculine pronouns (he, him, his, etc.) when referencing gender. This is not because cities wish to perpetuate gender bias but because most ordinances precede the strong contemporary awareness of gender bias and a desire to eliminate it.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. Sump Strickland came down with pneumonia last fall, coughing and wheezing and just generally feeling terrible as the disease pounded his 72-year-old body. But Strickland, a big man who had survived serious illnesses before, beat pneumonia and looked forward to a pleasant holiday season with his family in North Myrtle Beach. Then, soon after Thanksgiving, the horrible feeling returned. This time, however, the illness was COVID-19. He checked into a hospital in late December, fighting the sickness for nearly a month until the end came.
