	Gay village - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gay village (sometimes called a gay ghetto 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.
		The gay ghetto is a relatively new invention.

	Gay Ghetto and Kallion Lukio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Gay persons very often live alone (even when having a partner, they often want to have separate apartments), and very typically are without children.
		Gay males are thus directed to that area by their specific demand of housing.
		By the way, the "gay ghetto" nature of Kallio area is further emphasized by the happenstance that in that spot, there also exists a school, Kallion Lukio (the senior high school of Kallio).

	Thought, word and deed - NI 113 - Out of the closet
		Gays base for centuries been the butt of wry asides, cruel jokes and full-scale bigotry in the form of discrimination in employment, housing and human rights legislation.
		For many gay’s in North America the sanctity of the ghetto was irrevocably smashed by the ‘Stonewall’ incident in 1969 when New York City police raided a gay bar in Manhattan’s Christopher Street district and — for the first time — gay’s fought back.
		Many gay men now brandish the pink triangle as a public statement, that they are proud to be openly, visibly, gay.

	Gay editorial: Profiting from gay loneliness
		And yet, while the gay ghetto may be one of the more lively parts of town, with the most attractive men lumbering up and down the street night and day, it is also usually the deepest well of loneliness you can find.
		When a gay man in the depths of a drug addiction picks himself up, stops blaming everyone for his problems, says “no more” and fights his way back into the world, he is a hero to those who love him, and a symbol of resilience that they will never forget.
		When young gay people start believing that the gym is a place of health, and not an indoctrination camp for body-image obsession, we might have a generation that values the heart as much as the pectoral muscle.

	Guardian \| Do we really need gay florists?
		Gay ghettoes are being created, in a reversal of every other campaign for freedom in history.
		It is tragic that while the legal barriers between gays and straights are coming down (criminal compensation payment for same-sex partners; equalising the age of consent), the social divide is deepening.
		But there are some within the lesbian and gay community who argue that darker motives lie behind the retention, if not the creation, of the gay ghetto.

	Chapter 11: The Gay Ghetto
		The gay visibility that emerged after the Stonewall riots was a relief from the enforced privacy of the pre-Stonewall years.
		For gay people to be truly public, they would have to be able to display their sexual orientation and discuss their sexuality within the same parameters laid out for heterosexuals.
		The blooming of gay public spaces in urban areas occurred, to a large extent, because the population density of cities ensured a higher percentage of self-identified gay people.

	Hartford Advocate: Get me to the Ghetto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		John McGarvey: The West End is the closest thing to a gay ghetto in the Hartford area.
		But in Connecticut, where last month's signing of the civil union bill gave their lives an unprecedented stamp of approval, the appeal of a gay ghetto is less urgent.
		Members of Hartford's gay community say they can't recall the city ever actually inviting them in, but during the 1970s and 1980s the West End, especially the blocks north of Farmington Avenue, did become a mini-haven for students, hippies and other liberal-minded folk, including many gays and lesbians.

	Communitarianism and the city : the Marais, a 'gay ghetto' in Paris ?
		Among homosexuals, the 'ghetto' does not strictly refer to a district since the word is used more broadly for the way of life of individuals who live only among exclusively homosexual networks, whether social or even professional.
		Secondly, the gay culture is elaborated by the richest of homosexuals.
		Gay people are over-represented in Paris region (Ile de France) thanks to the anonymous character of the great city and to the increased possibility of encounters of other homosexual people.

	Gay editorial: Why Toronto's old gay village is dying
		The closest most gays and lesbians ever come to finding a promised land is moving to a Gay Ghetto -- an urban neighbourhood that is populated by, and reasonably tolerates, a large number of queers.
		Toronto's gay ghetto is slowly turning into gay retirement community, where the only queers who can afford to live in downtown Toronto are the ones who bought apartments and houses 20 years ago when they were still relatively cheap.
		Although none are exclusively gay (yet), the queer village in Toronto West is home to a few funky and potentially queer bars and lounges that are ripe for invasion: The marsbar in the Gladstone Hotel or Mitzi's Sister on Queen Street West.

		The gay community opened a few nightclubs in old theatres and by the early nineties the city was booming.
		On July 4, according to the Express Gay News, Carl Zablotny, the gay publisher of Wire, a Miami Beach gay newspaper, was slugged in the mouth and knocked unconscious by two thugs who hurled anti-gay remarks.
		Gay neighborhoods throughout America are in transition, however, as old communities disappear, new ones are born.

		More gay friendly businesses are opening in the west-end, weekly and providing jobs, than in any other part of the city.
		The fact that the west end is less aggressively, overtly gay is a drawing point, for those seeking a desire to create a new environment where diversity and different interests and lifestyles of all types can flourish.

		For years, first-wave gay ghettos were kept lively and relevant by a constant stream of young queer migrants arriving from upstate New York, downstate Illinois, rural California, and eastern Washington.
		Gay ghettos are slowly turning into gay retirement communities, where the only queers who can afford to live in the East Village or on Capitol Hill are the ones who bought apartments and houses 20 years ago when they were still relatively cheap.

	Queer As Folk Addiction \| Toronto \| Gay Village
		With one of the largest gay populations in North America, Toronto's gay village is a large area bordered by the streets Bloor, Yonge, Jarvis and Carlton, where you will find establishments for every taste.
		A long-time fixture in the gay community, the quirky Living Well bistro and lounge is a place to shoot pool, imbibe, socialize, and munch on nouvelle eclectic fare.
		Gay and Lesbian culture grew historically out of unconventional venues: the Beat coffee houses and speakeasies of the Fifties and Sixties; the bathhouses of the Seventies; and the drag bars and performance art spaces of the East Village in Manhattan in the Eighties.

		When a gay man is big and tough enough to pose a threat, it's comforting to know that when push comes to shove he'll beat down his boyfriend out of self-loathing then crawl back into the closet where he belongs.
		Apparently it's okay for gays to be successful in their professions so long as they're ineffectual in everyday life.
		The gay men are all great sports, playing along with the preposterous premise for the fun of it, trading in one set of stereotypes for another just to see how the other half lives.

		POutrag, whilst not the most effective organisation (and for many years little more than a Pointless Tachback publicity vehicle), was the last surviving remnant of a time where democracy and equality within the community were seen as being as important as democracy and liberty outside the community.
		Indeed there was even a time when fraternity/solidarity was treasured as a queer tenet of political faith (the lesbian and gays support the miners, for instance).
		The ghetto is now owner and controlled, economically and politically by the gay capitalists and fuckall.

		Separatism has displayed itself in the pre-Stonewall urban sexual subculture of gay men; in the alternative institutions created by lesbians in the 1970s; in the community centers, political organizations, and religious groups we formed in the 1980s; and in the many businesses that cater to our tastes.
		Now the battleground has shifted to gays in the military, same-sex marriage, workplace organizing, the right to parent, and fairness m the schools.
		As gay officials win higher offices, they will represent the whole electorate and prod their queer supporters to care about a broad range of issues.

		Not so welcome have been the larger-than-life plasma televisions positioned so no eyeball is left behind and no conversation left uninterrupted by the twin assault on eye and ear of over-the-top, gay-stereotypical, 1980s-ish videos of now-has-been singing stars performing back when they were both famous and could still sing in key, more or less.
		In recent years, as efforts to create a "gay heritage district" along SW Stark Street have failed, and as gentrification insinuated itself into the neighborhood, the days of the so-called "gay ghetto" seem numbered.
		One of the uplifting arguments in the recent and ongoing Measure 36 debate has been the strain of thought that generally argues that "gays are like everyone else." And indeed, in Portland, more than most places, gays seem not to be located so much in any one place as they are in every place.

		There's no gay ghetto, and rainbow flags and other visible pride symbols are quite rare, but the city is overall very tolerant.
		Although the genre has never made strong overtures to gay audiences, Nashville's country music scene has long attracted gay dancers, chorus singers, stagehands, and behind-the-scenes staff.

		This television network was organized to create and develop a network devoted to providing television programming for the gay and lesbian community.
		While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public.
