The U.S. Black and Latino gay meccas?

I know most Dlers probably don't give a shit, but I really wanted to know what are the "best" cities for black and latino gays. Well, "best" is based on the individual, so I guess I'm just asking about pure numbers, bars and nightlife, organizations, etc. Wherever gay blacks and latinos have the most presence. For Blacks, Not L.A. and San Francisco. So, Atlanta, NYC, DC, Chicago? Maybe Oakland? Latinos - NYC, Miami? And, if NYC, then what particular locations?

Not Atlanta or NYC. Why not SF? Because blacks are a smaller minority there? Nonetheless, things are better there than elsewhere by any objective standard. Columbus, Ohio would be a good place.%0D

r11, NYC is certainly not integrated socially in the gay scene. However there is a very active black gay community here in NYC. I would say it's a good place for black gays. We have our own parties, our own media, our own "celebrities." Its kind of underground which shocks me a bit because it's so obvious if you know the right people and where to look, but the black gay scene is definitely healthy here.

New York for Latinos. They've got several bars that cater specifically to gay Latin immigrants. The Web, once an Asian bar, is not almost exclusively Latin. Plus, there are several all-Latin bars in Queens.

99% of the strippers and go-go boys in the city are Latin.

My white friends who have a burning desire for Latino boys, particularly those of the bus boy/delivery boy variety find New York a heavenly candy story of sex.

You do know that Atlanta is the gayest city in America now, right? Eclipses NY and SF. It is certainly the center of the black gay universe as well. Latin... I'm thinking NY, LA, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale...

R23, I have met Paul Mooney and I must say, he is a naturally funny person unlike many other comics. I think his manner of talking *gayish* is part of his act. It's a combination of southern black, valley girl and catskills, all rolled up in one hunky man-body.

It depends what you mean by "Latino." For Cubans and Puerto Ricans, it's Miami, Tampa and other Florida cities, without question.

R57:

African-Americans make up only 13 or 14 percent of the entire population of the U.S. That's why they get to claim "minority" status.

And yet, for some reason, here in the metropolitan Chicago area - that's the city and all of its suburbs - African-Americans are 25 to 30 percent of the entire population.

That's twice the national average. And it means the metropolitan Chicago area has THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE of African-Americans of ANY area in the country.

Not Atlanta. Not St. Louis. Not Detroit. Not D.C. Chicago.

And yet, for some reason, Dr. King came here in the mid-'60s, and told all of us white people how we were the most nasty, bigoted, un-Christian, horrible, segregationist, evil people this side of Selma.
