| | |  Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay tourism - Gay travel destinations
Gay travel destinations are popular among gays because they usually have permissive or liberal attitudes towards gays, feature a prominent gay infrastructure (bars, businesses, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, entertainment, media, organisations, etc.)— these being often gay-owned and/or managed, the opportunity to socialize with other gays, and the feeling that one can relax safely among other gay people.
Gay travel destinations are often large cities, although not exclusively, and often coincide with the existence of gay neighborho ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay - Etymology The word started to acquire sexual connotations in the late 17th century, being used with meaning "addicted to pleasures and dissipations". This was by extension from the primary meaning of "carefree": implying "uninhibited by moral constraints". By the late nineteenth century the term "gay life" was a well-established euphemism for prostitution and other forms of sexual behaviour that were perceived as immoral.
The first name Gay is still occasionally encountered, usually as a female name although the spelling is often alter ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay village - Gay villages as exclusionary It has been argued that gay villages are often exclusionary in nature, even though they would seem, on the surface, not to be. Additionally, it has been argued that those who are not a part of "mainstream" gay culture, including lower-income gay men, people of color, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered community, sometimes find that there is no place for them in gay villages.
Thus, urban transformations that result from gentrification seem to, in certain cases, only benefit a specific subculture within the gay community, while ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay village - List of gay villages The following is an incomplete list of gay villages around the world. It should be noted that gay villages can vary widely from city to city and country to country. Furthermore, some large cities develop "satellite" gay villages that are essentially "overflow" areas; in such cases, lesbians and gay men become priced-out of gentrified gay villages and move to other, more affordable areas, thereby creating entirely new gay villages.
Some cities have a well-defined gay village in the heart of a larger area with a significant gay populati ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay bathhouse - Gay bathhouses and STDs Gay bathhouses have been blamed for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), in particular HIV, and this has forced their closure in some jurisdictions (see Legal issues, below). There is likely some truth in this claim, at least in the early days of the epidemic, as condoms were rarely used between men before the early 1980s, and bathhouses served as a primary meeting point for same-sex (male) sex partners. Sociologist and author Stephen O. Murray, however, in his book American Gay (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996), writes that, "there was never any evidence presented that goi ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay village - History of the gay village The gay ghetto is a relatively new invention. Prior to the 1960s and 1970s, spatialized gay communities did not exist as such; bars were usually where gay social networks developed, and they were located in certain urban areas where police zoning would implicitly allow so-called ‘deviant entertainment’ under close surveillance. In New York, for example, the congregation of gay men had not been illegal since 1965; however, no openly gay bar had been granted a license to serve alcohol. The police raid of a private gay club called the Stone ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay tourism - The gay-ing of the travel industry Executive Travel Associates, a full-service travel management company, writes in their Travel News article "Same-sex vacations" (Tuesday, April 06, 2004) that "The travel industry, already excited about the growing niche of gay tourism, hopes the recent surge in same-sex marriage translates into a new travel segment: gay honeymoons."
Travel companies of all types are aligning themselves with the gay community in general and the gay tourism market, specifically. American Airlines is a sponsor o ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay village - Consumerisation The gentrification of once run-down inner-city areas, coupled with the staging of pride parades in these areas, has resulted in the increased visibility of gay communities. Parades such as Sydney's Mardi Gras attract significant investment and tourist revenues, and cities are beginning to realize, firstly, that the acceptance (or promotion) of lesbian and gay culture is fast becoming a sign of urban "sophistication," and secondly, that gay-oriented events, such as pride parades, the World Outgames and the Gay Games, are potentially lucrative ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay village - The ghetto The term ‘ghetto’ is often used to describe gay communities in urban areas, though it is a term that was employed by sociologists to describe a city housing a segregated cultural community, and using this definition, it is not an entirely inappropriate term. Historically, it was a term applicable only to the Jewish community though it has, throughout the twentieth century, been used to describe a variety of groups that mainstream society deemed to be outside of the norm, including poor blacks, gay men and lesbians, and “moral deviants” (s ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay bathhouse - History Gay men have been meeting for sex in bathhouses at least since the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the West, a time when homosexual acts were illegal in most Western countries and men who were caught engaging in homosexual acts were often arrested and publicly humiliated. Men began frequenting cruising areas such as public parks, alleys, train and bus stations, movie theaters, public lavatories ("cottages (U.K.)/tearooms (U.S.)") and gym changing rooms where they could meet other men for sex; they also frequented bathhouses, or Turkish baths. Some bathhouse owners tried to prevent sex between patrons while others, mindful of profits, ...

| | | | Gay: Encyclopedia II - Gay bathhouse - Etiquette Customers typically divide their time between the showers/saunas/jacuzzis and the main areas of the establishment. Customers who have rented rooms may choose to rest there from time to time, while those who have rented lockers must rest in the public areas such as the café or lounge.
Customers who have rooms may leave their room doors open to signal that they are available for sex. An open door can also be an invitation for others to watch sexual activity that is already occurring, or to join in. Some men will position themselves to ...
