There are funky restaurants, shopping, and lots o’ lesbians. For girls who like girls, the Jamaica Plain neighborhood is your place. At night head towards the Theater District (gays and theater, surprise surprise) for bars and clubs. The historic district here contains large Victorian-era neighborhoods, so you could say the place is just full of old queens. The South End neighborhood is the traditional gay center, though gentrification has started to price out many LGBT businesses (which is odd, since gentrification is one of the cardinal gay superpowers). Keep your map handy, as the streets weren’t planned so much as they grew. The walkable neighborhoods feel more European than American. And accordingly, Boston is a very liberal and progressive place, a fun juxtaposition to its old-world charm. The Puritans may have settled the city almost 400 years ago, but it’s definitely a place where you can be wicked gay.Īs you must know-if not, turn in your gay card-Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriages.
A rich history gives Boston a unique identity among American cities.
For a city so densely populated, this major Massachusetts city achieves a quaint vibe and feels just like a town. When one thinks of New England, one city comes to mind: Boston.
Boston mixes old and new with a dash of gay
