Gay Boston

Boston is the capital city of the first state to legalise equal sex marriage, and as such it prides itself on being accessible and welcoming. This city is home to one of the largest LGBTQ+ population on the East Coast, drawn by the generally inclusive culture of even the areas that aren't exclusively queer. There are pride flags in windows across Boston, and grand annual events such as Pride and the LGBT Film Festival that are dedicated to the society. Visitors also flock to follow the Freedom Mark for a taste of historical queer spaces across the city.

Boston is known for many impressive things, including Ivy League schools and die-hard sports fans. However, something that many people may not know about Boston is that it also has a thriving LGBTQ community. 

Since Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, it should reach as no surprise that Boston is a city that is proud to support its lgbtq+ citizens.

For anyone interested in visiting or moving to one of the finest gay neighborhoods in Boston, here are three areas that are not to be missed:

2. Fenway-Kenmore
3. Back Bay

Now it is home to a diverse population, which includes a large portion of LGBTQ residents.

Nestled in between Endorse Bay, Chinatown, and Roxbury, this close-knit community is filled with old Victorian houses and a large number of green spaces.
