There is a prolific arts community, energetic and distinct neighborhoods to wander, exceptional architecture, a distinguished restaurant scene, and so many more things to do we couldn’t possibly list them all. Portland blends the approachability and friendliness of a small town with the culture and refinement of a big city to create something unique, that just begs you to explore further and stay longer.
However, if you are lucky enough to be considering a move here, we recommend reading our article about moving to LGBT Portland or getting in touch with a local gay realtor. Weird, cool and wonderfully queer – Gay Portland is waiting for you with open arms…Īre you relocating? This guide will help travelers discover the queerer side of the city. Yes, this is not your average American town. Oh, and did we mention there is not one, but two, gay male strip clubs….
BOYeurism burlesque shows, Blow Pony queer party nights, the Darcelle XV camp drag shows, Inferno women & the Trans* party series and the Club Kai-Kai monthly events are just some of our top picks. Even if you are not able to visit for these flagship events, there is all but guaranteed to be something every night of the week to pique your interest.
