“Laid-back, welcoming, and oh-so-hipster: Gay Denver is one of the biggest up-and-coming gaycation destinations in the USA.įamed for its mountains, craft-beer, legal marijuana, and hunky bearded men, Denver is also a magnet for queer individuals all over the (conservative) ‘Wild West’ who frequently flock here to experiment with gay life for the first time.
Add to this a fit, active, educated – and very accepting – population, and you can see why Denver is frequently named amongst the most gay-friendly cities in the US. While the gorgeous Rocky Mountains are right on the doorstep, gay visitors to Denver will find a diverse selection of gay bars, clubs, and bathhouses – not to mention plenty of arts, culture and growing culinary scene. With a very active and visible LGBT community – this progress, liberal haven in the heart of Colorado is where cowboys, politicians, gays, hipsters, artists, and micro-brewers all live, work, and play in harmony. If you ask anyone in Denver about which gay neighborhood to stay in, they will tell you, “Gay neighborhood? No need honey-this whole city is gay-friendly”, which is pretty accurate from our experience (though for gay nightlife you really should try to stay in the downtown or near Colfax Ave – see our Gay Denver Map at the end).
