San Francisco Has a Long History of Gay Travel |
|
|
|
 It is said that the first gay visitors to San Francisco came with the Gold Rush of 1849. That makes sense. These people had been persecuted and ostracized.With no home to call their own and nothing to lose, why not venture out to this alluring place called San Francisco?Here, everyone was new in town and judgments were left behind.
Over time, the LGBT community grew in North Beach, then in the Haight, then on Polk Street and then in the Castro, which is now known worldwide as "the gay Mecca." Today, it is difficult to find a neighborhood in San Francisco that doesn't have an LGBT presence.
San Francisco is now considered one of the most gay-friendly destinations in the US and the world, a fact that is backed up by research, media polls and comments from LGBT visitors.
