  Gay village - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gay village (sometimes called a gay ghetto, gay district, or gay enclave) is usually an urban geographic location with generally recognized boundaries where a large number of gay and lesbian people, as well as bisexuals and transsexuals live.
The term ‘ghetto’ is often used to describe gay communities in urban areas, though it is a term that was employed by sociologists to describe a city housing a segregated cultural community, and using this definition, it is not an entirely inappropriate term.
One of the aspects of planning history and the issue of urban space in which gay villages have participated is the gentrification of numerous urban neighborhoods and the patterns of gay residential development that are particular to the community.

 Church Marketing Sucks: Gay-Friendly Churches
The gay and lesbian person needs to see the sinfulness of the lifestyle, just as much as the husband who cheats on his wife or the banker who "skims off the top" or the bank robber, etc. We in the world like to rate sin.
