“The Strip” just to the north of the Downtown in Tobin Hill is the central gaybourhood district, but areas like Southtown the Arts District – where artists showcase the creative culture of the city – also have their own alternative rainbow flare.

We don’t want to over-simplify anything – but for your average tourist visiting for a few days, you are unlikely to encounter any issues. People here are by and large accepting, but gay acceptance and the culture around it was always going to be complicated here as we also found in Denver and Nashville.
