MEET THE NEW GAYBORHOODS OF THE US
From Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to Lake Merrt, Oakland, here are the new gayborhoods of the US. * gay crowd *
As a rult, many journalists are llg the dream of an Amerin gayborhood ad.
Soclogist Am Ghaziani suggts that LGBTQ urban are foregog the ia of a sgular gayborhood exchange for what he refers to as cultural archipelagos: queer pockets throughout a cy’s landspe that reflect a diverse exprsn of sexuali and liftyl. The new districts don’t look like the untry’s gayborhoods and aren’t always so easy to intify. Halstead Street has been the central ve nng through Chigo’s OG gayborhood, Boystown, for 50-pl years, but Clark Street, the mercial artery the heart of nearby Anrsonville, is emergg as the new ontier for LGBTQ rints.
A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF NEW YORK CY'S GAY & QUEER BARS
* gay crowd *
While many gay-centric bs Boystown have recently shuttered and reopened as more straight-iendly tablishments, the queer offergs Anrsonville are expandg.
Anrsonville is proof that “gay” isn’t the only thg that mak a neighborhood great for queer rints. Cooper Do-nuts, loted on Ma Street DTLA, was once a popular fe sandwiched between two gay bars and equented by the lol queer muny.
After an attempt by police to arrt patrons 1959, an army of drag queens, trans women, lbians, and gay men fought back what’s believed to be the first LGBT uprisg the Uned Stat. LA’s LGBTQ rints began reclaimg their historic turf after three new gay bars opened 2015. Wh no need to worry about the cy’s notorly bad traffic, ’s surprisg the gay muny didn’t e home to this ‘hood sooner.

The Castro San Francis is the crowng jewel of the US’s gayborhoods, but as the cy ntu gentrifyg wh the onslght of the tech dtry, many lament the loss of the neighborhood’s queer inty. Historilly, however, San Francis’s gayborhood has always been transient.
Here, Lake Merrt is tchg on as an up-and-g gayborhood, but not the ways one might thk. There’s only one gay waterg hole of which to speak — Port Bar, which opened 2016 — and while a brand-new LGBTQ Comuny Center opened 2017, there isn’t much else the vicy directly related to queer life.
Still, Oakland has the third-hight ncentratn of gay and lbian people the untry’s 50 largt ci, send to nearby San Francis and Seattle. Unlike both the ci, there’s no Pri flag potg tourists to a leather fetish store or distct area to go gay-bar hoppg.

A prehensive list of the very bt gay and queer bars NYC * gay crowd *
Instead, Lake Merrt and the rt of Oakland are fg a new kd of gayborhood, where the liv of LGBTQ dividuals are sewn seamlsly wh the rt of the populatn.
Atlanta is the gay pal of the South, and Midtown’s Peachtree Street is s obv epicenter, but gentrifitn is slowly rhapg the neighborhood. In 2013, a long-nng Midtown gay bar lled The Armory was torn down to make way for high-rise apartments, a ftg snapshot of recent chang.
Buckhead, home to Woof’s, Atlanta’s only gay sports bar, is a popular statn close to queer waterg hol around Ansley Mall (Osr’s Bar, Mixx, and Felix’s Atlanta are jt a few worthy of note).

Lambda Risg closed 2010, and the past , ’s bee qutnable whether DuPont Circle is worth mentng as a gay center the cy anymore. Sure, the area is home to JR’s and a handful of other popular gay bars, but as rents have bee too expensive for all but the wealthy, many queer rints are head eastward and takg the gay tablishments wh them.

In many ways, DuPont has passed the gayborhood’s rabow baton to nearby Logan Circle. Both gay tablishments mix wh a ser cuise scene (check out Le Diplomate for lic French lici), world-class performance venu (see what’s playg at Stud Theater), and classic Victorian archecture that rivals what you’ll fd the old ‘hood.
