This is a list of gay villages, urban areas with generally recognized boundaries that unofficially form a social center for LGBT people.[1] They tend to contain a number of gay lodgings, B&Bs, bars, clubs and pubs, restaurants, cafés and other similar businesses. Some may be gay getaways, such as Provincetown or Guerneville.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by with reliable sources.
