United States gay map

Written by
May 02 2026

The gay map of the United States is unlike any other country-level map I maintain for misterb&b - and I've been building this resource across years of editorial work. The US is simply the most geographically vast gay travel landscape in the world: from the bathhouses of New York City (the most referenced in our database, with 58+ verified venues) to the pool villas of Palm Springs, the beach houses of Fire Island, the bars of West Hollywood, and the community spaces of Chicago's Boystown. No two gay scenes here are alike. The gay map USA on misterb&b geolocates every verified LGBTQ+ venue across all 50 states - bars, bathhouses, restaurants, gay beaches, community spaces, Pride event locations, and LGBTQ+-verified accommodation. Whether you are planning a two-week road trip or a long weekend in Miami, this is where you start. This data is exclusive to misterb&b and is not available on any other platform. For maximum comfort and peace of mind, booking LGBTQ+-verified accommodation through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️‍🌈
