LA is so gay.
And that’s a very good thing.
The LGBT community’s influence is legendary in industries that made LA famous: film and television, music, fashion, art and design. But lesbian and gay people are woven into the fabric of LA society in a way that few other cities can match, making their presence known in law, business, government and religion. A heritage of tolerance has made LA gay-friendly to the core; some of the city’s most high profile citizens are out and proud.
From West Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley, Silver Lake to the beaches, there’s plenty to text home about. Gay visitors will find hundreds of LGBT-specific sights, sounds, tastes and activities — and even more opportunities to make new friends. So put on your tank top and board shorts, your best accessories or swankiest shoes, or even sneakers or hiking boots, and join us on a spin through Gay LA.
