But once we were si, all of , gay and straight, saw thgs we weren’t expectg. “There go the neighborhood, ” I thought as the last illn I had of this part of the cy as an clive yet uniquely gay space dissolved before my the past few years, the “ath of the Gayborhood” — a phrase once uttered mock horror whenever a favore hangout changed hands or a well-known stutn screwed up — has taken on an air of evabily.

GAY NEW YORK CY

Franny Price, the veteran producer of Philly Pri — one of the untry’s largt annual gay celebratns — is steppg down after more than 25 years, wh no succsor sight.

We saw this the polil arena 2018, when two openly gay black ndidat, Mallm Kenyatta and Alex Deerg, peted for a state Hoe seat the 181st District — a sectn of North Philalphia that’s both geographilly and enomilly distant om the Gayborhood. (Kenyatta would go on to w, jog Gayborhood-area Reprentative Brian Sims as the state’s only two openly gay legislators.

THERE GO THE GAYBORHOOD

The Strip also had another, more disparagg name — the “gay ghetto” — but at a time when people who equented gay-oriented bs faced public scty and harassment, was a lifele.

“Even before Stonewall, ” says Franny Price, who has lived the cy for 62 years, “the gay ghetto was an area where we LGBT people had a sense of belongg. ”“When the gay bars and shops were lumped wh the ‘unsirable’ elements of the ’60s and ’70s and threatened wh police raids, the attacks had the effect of galvanizg the muny, ” says Bob Skiba, a Gayborhood historian and curator. “Gays formed a bs associatn and a neighborhood watch to police their own terrori.

”In the wake of extensive civil rights work by LGBTQ activists around the untry the 1970s and durg the AIDS epimic the 1980s, the openly gay character of the neighborhood was firmly entrenched by the time Cy Paper edor and lumnist David Warner scribed an Outft celebratn as “a betiful day the gayborhood” the early 1990s. By 1999, the term Warner had ed was appearg on maps, and veloper tert soon stoked a rapid revalizatn that would turn the area om a llectn of bars and niche bs to a hot spot filled wh high-end rtrants and stutns played their own large rol the Gayborhood’s growth. In 2003, the Greater Philalphia Tourism Marketg Corporatn, now known as Vis Philalphia, lnched a hugely succsful mpaign vg potential visors to “Get Your History Straight and Your Nightlife Gay.

Dpe this official gay-forward posture, market forc were already startg to weaken the Gayborhood’s inty. But a more recent veloper appellatn, Midtown Village, now threatens to subsume the Gayborhood entirely.

“It first began appearg on tourist maps as ‘Midtown Village Philalphia’s Gayborhood, ’” says Skiba. “Next, maps showed two separate areas — Midtown Village to the north and the Gayborhood to the south.

This year, I’ve seen maps showg only Midtown Village, wh text mentng ‘the Gayborhood, a part of Midtown Village.

And while some observers would suggt that the change is a natural nsequence of wispread LGBTQ acceptance, others argue ’s a paful sign of gentrifitn that’s erasg the inty, culture, and tersectn of racial and genr diversy wh the Gayborhood.
