Gayborhood

The gayborhood is the physical and/or metaphorical home to the chosen family of gays and those who love them. It can be an “urban tribe,” or the group that forms one’s “entourage” for all manner of play, partying and processing.

Typically, the gayborhood is the best and closest source of support and validation of a Love My Gays lifestyle. If you love your gays, you’ll recognize the people in our gayborhood, and we welcome you to introduce us to your beloved gaybors as well.
