Is Urban Oufitters Inc. gay-friendly?

If they have donated to gay friendly causes, they're keeping it quiet. In addition to donating to anti-gay Senator Rick Santorum, the company has also been accused to encouraging young people to skip voting and being racially insensitive by selling Ghettopoly and a culturally ignorant chinese man costume.

First of all for the straight folks. A gay ghetto is not a ghetto. They are typically very nice neighborhoods....gay ghetto is slang for a neighborhood...typically urban where a lot of gay people have located.\n\nI live in a mid-western town to small to actually have a gay ghetto. But we do have historic neighborhoods. All of these have a large gay population.\n\nWhen I bought my last house the neighborhood association board consisted of 3 gay men, a fag hag, 2 other straight people and 1 guy who is the last person on earth to figure out he's gay.\n\nI love the sense of community, being able to walk to visit friends and stuff. I do wish we had more neighborhood businesses...like a larger city's gay ghetto would have.\nSo, yes and no is my answer :-)

As a Gay Man myself, I would encourage you to search your local gay outreach health programs.  Vancouver has to have many outlets....yours is an Excellent quest, & there has to be venues in place right in Vancouver for you to use.  I live in Calif., but an Internet search should open up alot of options for you...hang in there...

I would have said no!  Maybe it depends on what minority.  I have a dear friend who is gay who lived there for quite awhile, and he said it is a college town (like our home town), very cool, very accepting, and that there is quite a gay community there.  He liked living there.

Are there erotic stores that are gay only?\n\nI'm thinking ANY erotic store can service homo/hetero needs!

Your question in some ways seems so anti-inclusive--totally what Pride events are not about!  Remember the rainbow is inclusive--so best to ask everyone, not just gay men!  New York City has a great (and very inclusive) pride parade.  Come join us!

Howdy!  I currently live in Bloomington and my partner and I are both bi.  The university community is the San Francisco of the midwest, the rest of the town is pretty liberal compared to the rest of Indiana.  Bloomington is a blast and pretty safe.  You can usually find us dancing at Bullwinkle's on Friday night, and you can sip away with fellow liberals at Soma coffee house.  Let me know if you need a tour guide!

I am member of HRC too, and recommend that.\n\nIn addition to jack b's recommendentations, might I suggest you look at this link, it provides a pretty extensive listing of glbt organizations\n\nhttp://faculty.washington.edu/alvin/gayorg.htm\n\nYou might also use keywords in a search for something in your town (ie gay, yourtown, groups, organizations).

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the retail giant that grew up in the rural South, is moving to attract gay shoppers as it expands its presence in urban centers. \n\nBy entering into a partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce this week, the company “is making a very sincere effort to reach out to people who are a significant part of our customer base,” Wal-Mart spokesman Bob McAdam said Wednesday. \n\nI don't know if they're donating money, but they have joined alliances with gays and lesbians.

craigslist.com has personals for these kinds of things in every major city.  also your local independent paper will have ads for gay bars and clubs, and other things of interest to the gay community.

There is no such thing as going gay, either you are gay or you are not.  If you love dressing in women's clothing, you aren't gay.  You are living your life and you only get one shot, there are no retakes, so live your best life and enoy as much of it as you can.  The views and opinions of perfect strangers should not dictate the way you view yourself.

Sure!  About 10% of the population is gay and the services are no different in that respect.\n\nDon't think for an instant that I'm some wild-eyed liberal whack job either.  I served for over 21 years and made due note of the excellent service of quite a number of gays -- whose identity will remain forever confidential for obvious reasons!

Just because you wear small shirts doesn't make you gay.  Usually when a straight guy knows a lot about fashion, he's called a metrosexual.  It has nothing to do with being gay :)

I would say that it depends on what you are looking for (i.e. active nightlife, accepting community, progressive states, etc)  I have lived in Chicago, IL and Atlanta, GA and find that in both areas I had places that were accepting and comfortable and places that were not.  I know that Columbus, OH and Indianapolis, IN have accepting and strong gay communities.  I think that the biggest difference between some place like San Francisco versus a smaller town is the balance between acceptance and judgment or hatred.  In Atlanta, I have to be more aware of where I am or what part of the city  I am in whereas in San Francisco that was much less the case.  Also, many states have passed very restrictive legislation in the last few years, which makes it harder to have benefits, support and rights as a gay couple so it is really important that you look at that too and make sure that you take the necessary steps to protect yourself legally. \n\nHope that helps!  You can also check our www.hrc.org for other resources on states and communities or do a web search for the city you are looking for and the gay community
