gay district
LGBTQ community area
A gay district is a neighborhood known for its concentration of LGBTQ+ residents, businesses, and nightlife.
Cities often have historically recognized gay districts—San Francisco's Castro, New York's Greenwich Village, London's Soho—that developed as gathering places when homosexuality faced broader social hostility.
Some have gentrified as acceptance increased: The gay district isn't as gay as it used to be.
