The Gayborhood
"This Center City neighborhood is officially known as Washington Square West, but locals know it as the Gayborhood. The clearest sign that you’ve made it to the Gayborhood: The street signs are rainbow patterned. The Gayborhood has been a haven of LBGTQ culture since World War II. Philadelphia was the first city in the US to market LGBTQ tourism in 2003 with its campaign, “Get Your History Straight and Your Nightlife Gay.” Today, the Gayborhood has many businesses that are either LGBTQ-owned or friendly to the community." - MATADOR_NETWORK
