New York City: Gay and lesbian New York
There are few places in America - indeed in the world - where gay culture thrives as it does in New York. A glance at the pages of the Village Voice , where gay theater, gossip and politics share space with more mainstream goings-on, gives a quick inkling.Socially, lesbians and gay men are fairly visible, and while it's not recommended that you and your partner hold hands in public before checking out the territory, there are neighborhoods in the city where you'll find yourself in a comfortable majority. A strong presence lingers in the vicinity of Christopher Street in the West Village, but it's in Chelsea that gay socializing is most out and open. The other haven is Brooklyn's Park Slope, though perhaps more for women than for men.
