Bon Voyage to Gay Cities!

We all know that places like Provincetown/Wilton manners/ Palm Springs/Russian rRiver /every other gay enclave and resort are dying out. They’re mostly full of old men named Ron Don Ron or Don. Millennials and Gen Z’s are not interested in surrounding themselves with all gay men. They live out loud everywhere and are friends with everybody. They don’t find it necessary to run away to these gay resorts to be themselves. So now that Ron Don Don and Ron are dying off.. what will become of these cities?

R6 It’s not ageist. You’re missing the whole point of the thread. Younger people don’t feel the need to rush off to gay resorts and cities because we no longer have to hide who we are. I have friends of all races and sexual orientation’s that I interact with every day in myriad of social settings including gay and straight bars and events. Going to Provincetown is not a destination of choice for us younger people because again it’s simply not necessary. I’m glad older people had these places to run to .. to feel safe. Cities evolve and change… I’m just wondering what will happen when older gents die off. Yes straight people have taken over many of the traditional gay neighborhood… so what? They have every right to be there.

Do most of you stress out during a straight event and wish you could get out of there as soon as possible and rush to the gay bar to talk about cocks and ass? Our generation is way more relaxed… Time has helped with that. Straight people talk about cocks and ass as well.. If you stayed in an event long enough you would find out.

But don’t forget that you’re standing on the shoulders of older generations who struggled to get you there. You will hopefully never know the stigma they fought. And though regretfully gay clubs have mostly died out, at least for now, gay destinations like PTown still seem to thrive for all ages. I for one am glad to see places exist where gays of all generations can still gather. Maybe it would help bring down some of the odd hostility we’re seeing in this post.

Maybe Brownies and Girl Scouts are no longer necessary either, not with all genders being equal now, and nonbinary an option, to boot. There's just no need.

It will probably be a good thing, too, now that Millennials are here to show us a better way to live, because all those drafty, big synagogues and churches can all just be combined since everyone's the same. Much more efficient.

I've been to p-town on and off & it seems like it was getting more and more hetero... but at the same time full BnBs are being bought by older gay people (I think it's them - not straights) to retire. There are fewer places to stay. The prices there are also so high for tourists. They have to make all of their money in a few months, so paying $10 for a drink with a $25 hamburger are keeping people away to some extent.

That being said, I've never seen a tea dance that wasn't packed. The ferry, oddly enough, feels like it's 75% straight people - but then you get there and the gays are still there.

The gay scene in p-town seems extremely cliquey for a gay vacation spot. I've rarely met anyone more except when a mutual friend will introduce me to a group of gays and they do that stupid thing where they recite their name s "I'm Michael - I'm Andrew - I'm Stephen - I'm Jason" - and then walk away never to be seen again. I've met gay guys in cities all over the place but p-town gays always seemed a little bitchy.

Lots of young guys I’ve fucked the hell out of would greatly prefer I give no hint we’ve ever met, should we encounter each other in public. But they’ll be over to get laid. Men like sex, and sometimes the sex they really like isn’t what they want their friends to find out about.

An interesting discussion. My straight nephew had a gay friend from Seattle who visited my town. My nephew, who's known since he was a teen that I'm gay, asked me to come down to join them for a drink - in a straight bar. After sipping one drink, the gay friend said let's get out of here. When we were outside, I asked him where else he'd like to go. He said, "a gay bar". In other words, he was fine meeting in a straight bar, but he wanted to see his peeps, as we all do. I'm very suspicious of the guy who keeps insisting that gay people only want to live among the straights 24/7 365 days a year. Settling or living in a predominantly gay environment is another decision - one that many gays ultimately reject. But that's only because they have carved out a life for themselves which includes having enough gay friends where they are. Gay people who have never met still have something in common, other than interest in cocks and asses and antiques. They have grown up as part of a tiny minority, who cannot escape a certain amount of discrimination in their lives - whether from conservative religious people, from political parties who seem to desire to take away their civil rights, or from family members who are convinced that they are ultimately going to be miserable as gay. That's not enough to form a friendship, but it's enough to start a conversation - a conversation that can never be fully understood by a straight person.

R79 - great post. Exactly my thought after I read all this. I’m fine in straight bars and straight friends houses. But in my 20s and 30s I wanted to have potential sexual partners - which are at gay bars and gay neighborhoods. I get you can be at a straight bar and be on Grindr. But seems like chances are better in a gay environment to meet a hookup.

Also agree with your point about conversation. I find I can converse with gay people at a different level than most straight people. Easier with more subjects, reference points and viewpoints in common. Yes there are exceptions. But if I have one Friday night, I’d rather spend it at a gay bar than a straight bar 7 out of 10 times. I’m surrounded by straight people all day every day. I find comfort in an easy environment on my free time,

Gradually I came to realize they don't want to be around each other, either.

The only relationship any of them seems to have is with his or her phone, which they stare into until the moment class starts, and many of them turn on as soon as possible after class. There's a core group of three girls who talk to each other before class, but other than that, they do not engage.

They ignore the professor, too. He says "buongiorno, ragazzi" to us at the beginning of each class, and I am the only one who responds. Such robots, this bunch.

Palm Springs is more gay than it was 20 years ago. Sure, its mostly elder, but that's only because it's a good place to retire. You get a lot of house for your money, no big city problems, a sense of community and even if you are not gay, the architect is unmatched anywhere else in the country for mid century modern. It's fun to be in a place that celebrates architecture and design instead of a dirty city full of crime, filth and rude self involved assholes.

The thing you don't realizes about Palm Springs is that it's a resort town. Like most resort towns straight or gay, they get waves of people who visit at certin times of the year. PS has its share of young people that flock into the city by the thousands. It just wasn't happening when you were there. Old men are not staying at the Ace Hotel or going to the White Party if they live there, they hate that shit.

FYI most elder gays never lived in totally gay cities, they would have been a lot bigger if they did. 95% of us lived just like you do with a mix of friends of all types and go to their weddings, BBQs Movies, and every other event just like you do. We are not all hairdressers and decorators busy collecting antiques. Some of us are lawyers, doctors, scientists, engineers, and programmers. You go where the jobs are. Stop with the ageist projection.

Mountain bike classes and wilderness survival. Skills?

If that isn’t made up (it is), then the whole generation is lost. Only a child raised in some Bizzarre helicoptered existence would need a class on how to ride a bike and camp.

But we know that’s bs anyway.

When we have a family get together all of my nieces and nephews under 30 just sit around staring at their phones. Even in restaurants.We gave up trying to shame them. They cant go five minutes without them.The most boring generation ever.

Most summer weeks, the line to get into the Provincetown Tea Dance or the various underwear parties is down the block. I can't tell you how many times people have said they had to leave because it was too crowded.

I can't tell you how many Gen Z sluts sucked my old man cock over the summer at the Underwear Party on Fire Island. OP is a transparently bad EST.

R97 Dude it’s not made up. We live in Salt Lake City. There’s a huge amount of dumbasses that come out here thinking they know how to camp mountain bike etc. most have never been on a mountain bike. Most of these idiots end up careening down the mountain side and getting seriously injured because they don’t know how to control the bike. There also people mostly dumbasses from big cities that think they know how to camp and survive and end up getting lost in the Wasatch. My boyfriend teaches them how to ride, had a fall the right way so they don’t break a bone etc.

I’m 63 years old and I have some friends who are gay and straight and, although I’m not anxious in all straight gatherings, I do feel some resentment in that the world and the culture support them. They don’t give it a thought, of course, being part of the dominant culture but I can’t get past my resentment.

I love the eldergays who blame millennials for everything they don't like. Will they blame Baby Boomers for supporting Trump?

R114 We’ll blame you for your generations endless self-absorption with emotional support animals, avocado toast, and not seeing wee-wee in the locker room as your big trigger issues.

The self-supporting adults are more concerned with treason, and mass slaughter of innocents in Kurdistan. But please, do tell us more about why everything hinges on why you have butthurt over today’s trigger word.

Typical generational bitch fight. Who benefits from that? Trump's alt-right.

Different gays want different things. Some want the heterornormative home with the white picket fence and others want to be independent and explore the nice, juicy cocks of this world.

Anyone who claims to feel like an outsider really fails at life where you are supposed to find like-minded people you can form bonds and relationships with. And it's fairly easy to find like-minded people online.

I'm not sure we have gay cities as such here in the UK. Brighton perhaps?
