LGBT Fort Lauderdale offers plenty of quirky suburbs, a thriving gay events calendar, luxurious resorts and more gay bars and clubs than you could ever see in one visit.
At times it can feel like the whole city is just one giant gay mecca – and with two annual Pride festivals, the Wicked Manors party and Leather Masked Ball it arguably is! If you ask anyone in Fort Lauderdale which neighborhoods are safe for gays, they will tell you “Honey…this whole city is gay-friendly!”, and in our experience, this is entirely true! Most gay travelers, however, do opt to stay in the Wilton Manors gaybourhood or close to the San Sebastian Gay Beach where gays frequently outnumbered straights.
