It’s fely a huge change om when we first started g out here 10 years ago.” Unlike the famo gay wboy song “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other,” ’s no secret that Palm Sprgs has long been a popular statn for the LGBTQ muny. “Today there is a very vibrant and visible gay muny here,” says Dave McAdam, founr and -owner of Homtead Morn short-term rentals, who moved om San Francis to the high sert 2003.
Comg om those two very gay-welg muni, I felt some real trepidatn about what a gay man might fd the high sert — pecially some of the more nservative muni here,” McAdam adds.
