The Gay Scene in Gay Phoenix

Phoenix is hands-down the most gay-friendly city in the Southwest. You’ll find tons of gay-friendly activities. The gayborhood is located between 7th Avenue and 7th Street, which is home to gay bars, gay clubs, gay saunas, gay-friendly restaurants and fun gay shops.

One of the things that the gay Phoenix community prides itself on is their racial diversity. You’ll have your choice of black guys, Hispanic guys, and Asian guys. Or white meat, if that’s your thing. There will be gay bears, manly men, dragqueens, twinks and minks.

Pride is held every April and is one of the largest pride events in the Southwest. However, it is one of the only Pride events anywhere that charges money for admission, so buy your tickets in advance – it sometimes sells out!

Meanwhile, for those of you who don’t want to pay for Pride, each October there is the free Rainbow Festival, which is essentially Pride under a different name.

Perhaps the most fun gay Phoenix event of the year is the Road Runner Regional Rodeo – an all-gay rodeo event where you can watch gay cowboys rope cattle, and then you can try to rope one of your own after the event. If you have a Brokeback Mountain fetish, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
