"CI HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAVENS FOR DIFFERENCE WHERE, BEE OF THE SHEER NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVG THERE, YOU N MAKE A PLACE WH OTHERS WH WHOM YOU SHARE SOMETHG MON. GAY VILLAG FORMED ORR TO PROVI PEOPLE WH A PLACE OF MUTUAL SUPPORT, PROTECTN AND SOCIALISATN, BUT NOW FACE A NUMBER OF THREATS TO THEIR NTUED EXISTENCE. LGBT HISTORY MONTH GIV AN OPPORTUNY TO REFLECT ON HOW GAY VILLAG HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME AND TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE CHALLENG THAT FACE THEM TODAY. PRR TO THE CRIMALISATN OF HOMOSEXUALY THE UK 1967, ISOLATED BARS AND PRIVATE CLUBS VELOPED REPUTATNS FOR TOLERATG NON-HETEROSEXUAL MUNI. THE CLANSTE GAY VENU DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCLIVELY HOMOSEXUAL CLIENTELE, BUT UALLY OPERATED ON A SMALL SLE AND WERE GENERALLY SQUEEZED TO SOMEWHAT UNFASHNABLE OR DOWN-AT-HEEL PARTS OF TOWN. FOLLOWG CRIMALISATN, BY THE LATE 1970S A MORE DISTCTIVE SCENE HAD BEGUN TO EMERGE WH DITED BARS, CLUBS AND SUPPORT SERVIC CLTERG N-DOWN PARTS OF LARGER CI THAT MASTREAM PROPERTY VELOPERS WERE PAYG LTLE ATTENTN TO. THE AREAS GAED PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE AS SOURC OF RMATN EXCHANGE, HEALTH SERVIC AND SUPPORT AS AIDS CIMATED GAY MUNI DURG THE 1980S. THE SEMI-FORMAL CLTERS OF LGBT-IENDLY BARS AND SERVIC THE 1980S VELOPED TO MORE FULLY-FLEDGED AND FORMALISED VILLAG THROUGH THE 1990S, PARTICULARLY AS CI SAW THE POTENTIAL FOR VELOPG THEIR NIGHT TIME ENOMI. THE VENU AND BARS OF MANCHTER’S CANAL STREET, FOR EXAMPLE, PIGGYBACKED ON THE MADCHTER CLUB SCENE OF THE TIME, CREATG A VIBRANT NIGHT TIME ENOMY A PREVLY N-DOWN PART OF THE CY. MANCHTER CY COUNCIL THEN SOUGHT TO PALISE ON THIS ACTIVY, HEAVILY PROMOTG CANAL STREET AS PART OF S TERNATNAL MARKETG TO TOURISTS. MUCH OF THE SOCIAL AND HEALTH SUPPORT SERVIC THAT WERE PROVID BY GAY VILLAG N TODAY BE ACCSED ONLE, RCG THE NEED FOR A DITED SPACE TO EXCHANGE THIS RMATN. LIKEWISE, THE RISE OF SMARTPHONE APPS HAS RCED THE NEED TO GO TO A SPECIFIC VENUE ORR TO MEET OTHER LGBT PEOPLE. GREATER TOLERANCE FOR HOMOSEXUALY SOCIETY HAS AT LARGE RCED – ALTHOUGH NOT REMOVED – THE NEED FOR GAY VILLAG TO SERVE AS SAFE SPAC WHICH TO BE OPENLY GAY. AS THEY VELOPED, GAY VILLAG RELIED UPON A BATN OF LOW RENTS AND AN ENOMY BASED AROUND DRKG CULTUR TO STA THEIR VIBRANCY. AS BRA’S CY CENTR HAVE BEEN REGENERATED SCE THE LATE 1990S, PROPERTY VALU THE AREAS HAVE CREASED, BRGG THE CHALLENGE OF GENTRIFITN, WHEREBY MORE MARGAL ERS OF URBAN SPAC ARE PHED OUT FAVOUR OF THOSE WHO N GENERATE HIGHER REVENU. IF OWNERS FEEL THAT THEY N MAKE MORE MONEY BY NVERTG A SE TO APARTMENTS, THEY HAVE LTLE CENTIVE TO KEEP RENTG OUT SPACE TO A BAR. AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE’S DRKG HABS ARE CHANGG, WH A 17% FALL THE NUMBER OF PUBS BETWEEN 2006 AND 2013. THE CHANG WIR SOCIETY SQUEEZE THE FANCIAL MOL UNRPNG GAY VILLAG THEIR CURRENT FORM. BUT GAY VILLAG STILL HAVE A CCIAL ROLE TO PLAY. HOMOPHOBIA HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND CREATG SAFE SPAC IS STILL IMPORTANT. THERE ARE ALSO PARTICULAR CHALLENG SOME NON-WHE MUNI, WHICH N BE LS TOLERANT OF HOMOSEXUALY. THE FACT THAT GAY VILLAG ARE SO STRONGLY NNECTED TO DRKG AND PARTYG CULTUR N BE EXCLNARY BOTH TO PARTICULAR ETHNIC MUNI AND ALSO TO OLR PEOPLE. LIKEWISE, THE VIRTUAL WORLDS OF DATG APPS HAVE TEND TO BE TARGETED AT GAY MEN, WH LBIANS MUCH LS WELL SERVED BY THE PLATFORMS. THE CHALLENGE IS TO FD NEW FORMS FOR GAY VILLAG A CHANGG SOCIETY TO BETTER SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE LGBT MUNY TODAY. THE CHALLENGE IS TO FD NEW FORMS FOR GAY VILLAG A CHANGG SOCIETY TO BETTER SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE LGBT MUNY TODAY. EXAMG THE PAST, PRENT, AND FUTURE OF CHIGO'S FIRST GAY NEIGHBORHOOD THOUGH BOYSTOWN HAS BEE A SIGNIFINT VISUAL SYMBOL OF LGBT+ INTY CHIGO, ’S ACTUALLY CREASGLY LS HABED SOLELY BY LGBT+ RINTS. THE REASONS BEHD THIS CLE RINCY ARE MIXED. ON A POSIVE NOTE, VASTLY IMPROVED LEGAL PROTECTNS FOR AND CULTURAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE LGBT+ MUNY MEANS THAT MANY LGBT+ DIVIDUALS ARE FORTABLE RIDG AREAS THAT AREN’T SPECIFILLY KNOWN AS LGBT+ MUNI. “…THE CENS NOW FDS SAME-SEX ROMANTIC UPL LIVG TOGETHER 93 PERCENT OF AMERI'S UNTI,” MATTHEW YGLIAS OF VOX WROTE WHEN OUTLG THIS TREND. “THE GAY POPULATN IS BEG LS NCENTRATED AS S LEGAL, POLIL, AND SOCIAL REALY IS CREASGLY ACCEPTED.”IN THE REAL TATE REALM, CLIVE STATE AND CY HOG POLICI, UPLED WH THE EQUALY-FOCED PRACTIC OF REAL TATE AGENTS, HAVE HELPED NTRIBUTE TO THIS TREND, SPE THE FACT THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY NO FERAL LAW PLACE PROTECTG LGBT+ DIVIDUALS OM HOG DISCRIMATN (THE FAIR HOG ACT DON’T INTIFY LGBT+ DIVIDUALS AS A PROTECTED CLASS).... OVERALL, THE HISTORY OF CHIGO’S BOYSTOWN IS BOTH RICH AND NUANCED AND , LIKE MANY GAY NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE UNTRY, WILL ALWAYS BE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE LEGACY OF S CY. WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR BOYSTOWN WILL PEND ON MANY POLIL, SOCENOMIC, AND CULTURAL FACTORS THAT WILL SHAPE THE EVOLUTN AND INTY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WAYS BOTH EXPECTED AND UNFOREEN." "GREETGS FROM THE GAYBORHOOD — AND BEYOND" WE MT UNRERVEDLY REGNIZE THE GAYBORHOOD. THEY ALLOW QUEER PEOPLE TO FD EACH OTHER FOR IENDSHIP, FELLOWSHIP, SEX AND LOVE. GAYBORHOODS CUBATE UNIQUE CULTUR, POLIL PERSPECTIV, ANIZATNS, RUALS, AND STYL OF SOCIALIZATN. AT THE END OF A LONG DAY, THEY PROMISE A SENSE OF SAFETY OM DISCRIMATN AND AN OPPORTUNY TO CENTER AND CELEBRATE QUEERNS. THE MORE WE LOOK, THE MORE WE SEE THAT GAYBORHOODS HAVE A HAND EVERY ASPECT OF MORN LIFE: OM STRATEGI, LIKE RABOW CROSSWALKS, THAT CY OFFICIALS E TO MEMORATE THEIR LOL DISTRICT TO THE SHAPG OF REAL TATE VALU; OM THE STUTNAL VELOPMENT OF QUEER MUNI TO THEIR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT; AND OM PRI PARAS TO PROTTS AND ELECTORAL FLUENCE.... EMBRACG THE NOTN OF ARCHIPELAGOS DO NOT REQUIRE TO SUPPRS OR SUBORDATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GAYBORHOOD BUT RATHER TO SEE AS ONE PART OF A DYNAMIC CHA OF LGBTQ ISLANDS OF CULTURAL SIGNIFINCE, ALL OF WHICH NTRIBUTE TO THE VALY OF OUR CI.

LGBT HISTORY MONTH GIV AN OPPORTUNY TO REFLECT ON HOW GAY VILLAG HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME AND TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE CHALLENG THAT FACE THEM TODAY. PRR TO THE CRIMALISATN OF HOMOSEXUALY THE UK 1967, ISOLATED BARS AND PRIVATE CLUBS VELOPED REPUTATNS FOR TOLERATG NON-HETEROSEXUAL MUNI. THE CLANSTE GAY VENU DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCLIVELY HOMOSEXUAL CLIENTELE, BUT UALLY OPERATED ON A SMALL SLE AND WERE GENERALLY SQUEEZED TO SOMEWHAT UNFASHNABLE OR DOWN-AT-HEEL PARTS OF TOWN. FOLLOWG CRIMALISATN, BY THE LATE 1970S A MORE DISTCTIVE SCENE HAD BEGUN TO EMERGE WH DITED BARS, CLUBS AND SUPPORT SERVIC CLTERG N-DOWN PARTS OF LARGER CI THAT MASTREAM PROPERTY VELOPERS WERE PAYG LTLE ATTENTN TO. THE AREAS GAED PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE AS SOURC OF RMATN EXCHANGE, HEALTH SERVIC AND SUPPORT AS AIDS CIMATED GAY MUNI DURG THE 1980S. THE SEMI-FORMAL CLTERS OF LGBT-IENDLY BARS AND SERVIC THE 1980S VELOPED TO MORE FULLY-FLEDGED AND FORMALISED VILLAG THROUGH THE 1990S, PARTICULARLY AS CI SAW THE POTENTIAL FOR VELOPG THEIR NIGHT TIME ENOMI. THE VENU AND BARS OF MANCHTER’S CANAL STREET, FOR EXAMPLE, PIGGYBACKED ON THE MADCHTER CLUB SCENE OF THE TIME, CREATG A VIBRANT NIGHT TIME ENOMY A PREVLY N-DOWN PART OF THE CY. MANCHTER CY COUNCIL THEN SOUGHT TO PALISE ON THIS ACTIVY, HEAVILY PROMOTG CANAL STREET AS PART OF S TERNATNAL MARKETG TO TOURISTS. MUCH OF THE SOCIAL AND HEALTH SUPPORT SERVIC THAT WERE PROVID BY GAY VILLAG N TODAY BE ACCSED ONLE, RCG THE NEED FOR A DITED SPACE TO EXCHANGE THIS RMATN. LIKEWISE, THE RISE OF SMARTPHONE APPS HAS RCED THE NEED TO GO TO A SPECIFIC VENUE ORR TO MEET OTHER LGBT PEOPLE. GREATER TOLERANCE FOR HOMOSEXUALY SOCIETY HAS AT LARGE RCED – ALTHOUGH NOT REMOVED – THE NEED FOR GAY VILLAG TO SERVE AS SAFE SPAC WHICH TO BE OPENLY GAY. AS THEY VELOPED, GAY VILLAG RELIED UPON A BATN OF LOW RENTS AND AN ENOMY BASED AROUND DRKG CULTUR TO STA THEIR VIBRANCY. AS BRA’S CY CENTR HAVE BEEN REGENERATED SCE THE LATE 1990S, PROPERTY VALU THE AREAS HAVE CREASED, BRGG THE CHALLENGE OF GENTRIFITN, WHEREBY MORE MARGAL ERS OF URBAN SPAC ARE PHED OUT FAVOUR OF THOSE WHO N GENERATE HIGHER REVENU.

BUT GAY VILLAG STILL HAVE A CCIAL ROLE TO PLAY. HOMOPHOBIA HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND CREATG SAFE SPAC IS STILL IMPORTANT. THERE ARE ALSO PARTICULAR CHALLENG SOME NON-WHE MUNI, WHICH N BE LS TOLERANT OF HOMOSEXUALY. THE FACT THAT GAY VILLAG ARE SO STRONGLY NNECTED TO DRKG AND PARTYG CULTUR N BE EXCLNARY BOTH TO PARTICULAR ETHNIC MUNI AND ALSO TO OLR PEOPLE.

Therefore, public displays of affectn (PDAs) and topics like sex and sexualy are thgs Japane do not talk about, though genr norms are more fluid Japan than elsewhere the LGBT people Japan are jt ‘gay for the weekend’ and often even have a ‘normal’ fay durg the rt of the week. 3Many thors argue that this mol of the “Gay Village”, often centred on the realy of Anglo-Saxon ci (and particularly north Amerin, or eventually European s), do not ver or reprent the plexy of practic, attus and reprentatns that embodi the spatiali of LGBT life those ci - which naturally do not rtrict to the areas - neher acplish the diversy and plexy of inti herent to them. 6The rearch hypoth we are assumg are the followg: (i) there may be nsirable differenc our se studi relatn to those other s; (ii) there may be evince of important specifici that uld reprent a "South European" approach to the realy of "Gay Villag".
Another important aspect that is also seen the analysis of cultural quarters and LGBT neighbourhoods is related to their own terrorial characteristics, which are sential the nurturg of creative terrorially-embedd dynamics (such as the existence of ndns of openns, tolerance, diversy, limaly), which are also fundamental for the settlement and velopment of “gay villag” and “queer terrori”. 12In what ncerns to the send stream, the analysis of "gay neighbourhoods", a wi range of lerature n be found recent s the fields of geography, soclogy, urbanism or cultural and queer studi, standg out the broar amework of the analysis of LGBT and queer geographi wh urban space.

14From classil studi on muny-based movements and the spatializatn of “gay villag” (Castells and Murphy, 1982; Castells, 1983; Lria and Knopp, 1985; Bell and Valente, 1995; Knopp, 1995) to a wi diversy of empiril work on the LGBT and queer spatial patterns, multiple analys have drawn attentn to a diversy of spatial practic (and reprentatns) - the cy, the neighbourhood, or even at home - and to the plex mechanisms of permanent negotiatn of inti the urban sphere, both public and private space (Bnie and Valente, 1999; Bnie, 1995, 2004; Bell and Valente, 1995; Hanhardt, 2013, 2016; Giekd 2013, 2016; Sprgate, 2016; L et al, 2014; Chisholm, 2005; Pilkey, 2013, Brown et al, 2004; Vieira, 2011). 16In this work - for pragmatic reasons and assumg that, at least to some extent, “quarterg fix queer place” (Bnie, 2004) – special attentn is paid to the work done by Col Gird (2014) parg two other “gay villag” ntexts different om ours.
The diversy of dimensns vered by this thor’s tensive work the two neighbourhoods - cludg aspects related to the velopment of gay villag, the unrstandg of material and symbolic aspects related to the mercial and rintial trajectori the neighbourhoods, as well as the practic of daily life, the mechanisms of socializatn and sociabily gay villag, or the relatns of ‘gaytrifiers’ wh their neighbourhoods - allows to aspire to have a parative perspective a realy that may not be so far om the Iberian ntext where we nducted our analysis. Chue has faced a nsirable velopment gay life, pecially sce the 1970’s and 1980’s, and is still marked by a strong LGBT prence, clearly visible public space, lol merce and servic, and the appropriatn that the queer muny mak through s daily practic.
The LGBT muny the area is noted has havg grown the 1980’s and 1990’s, but the area do not rrpond precisely to what is ually lled a “gay village”, as the visibily of this muny to external ey is still prevalent, and the marks the public space (sentially related to bars and nightlife or sporadic specialized tra) are not so equent. This district (wh a strong prence of rints, but also wh a variety of LGBT merce and servic) is currently facg the challeng related to the staabily as a gay "village", beg affected by strong forc towards a procs of terrorial spreadg or even relotn (to nearby lotns). Comparg the characteristics and ntgenci of the areas wh other s prevly studied the lerature, namely the analysis nducted by Col Gird (2014) two other LGBT neighbourhoods (Marais Paris and Village Montreal), we n nsir that is possible to intify the existence of substantial differenc relatn to them and suggt the evince of some specifici that uld reprent a “South European” approach to the realy of the “Gay Villag”.
