The most gay-friendly city in America might surprise you
San Francisco has long been considered America's most gay-friendly city. But the Bay Area doesn’t have a lock on LGBTQ tourism—cities across the U.S. have been rolling out the rainbow carpet.
While it doesn't have a gayborhood like other cities, "Portland is such a blue bubble we don't have the need for those types of enclaves, like other parts of the country still do," LGBTQ rights advocate Susie Shepherd told Willamette Week.In 2008, it became the first major U.S. city to elect an openly gay man, Sam Adams, as mayor. In 2016, Portland city commissioners mandated that most public restrooms be gender neutral.
Philadelphia’s “gayborhood” has rainbow street signs. The city, the site of one of the first gay rights protests in America , was the top LGBTQ destination for 20.35 percent of those surveyed by VacationRenter. Getty
