Let’s get started! What makes a city gay-friendly? With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 most gay-friendly cities in the U.S. When traveling or choosing somewhere to live, it’s still nice to see rainbow flags and equality signs around, to know that you can hold hands in the street with your significant other without feeling uncomfortable, and to know that you’re surrounded by “family.” As society has become more accepting of the LGBTQ community, the “gayborhoods” of the past have become less defined by specific streets and blocks, and are now more integrated into their cities as a whole.
