Gay Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a popular regional destination, and a new hot spot for gay travelers worldwide. The city is home to a diverse and friendly population, an active gay community and plentiful gay nightlife.
This is the childhood home of Andy Warhol (from 1928-1949) and the museum that bears his name. The movie Boys on the Side was filmed here as was Silence of the Lambs. This is where the Renaissance City Choir raises its voices to create change and energize the gay and lesbian community; and Proudly Present Productions produces mainstream Broadway-style shows to benefit community charities.
The Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill (412-422-0114, www.glccpgh.org) serves the GLBT communities and community-at-large through a spectrum of services, a library of more than 2,000 GLBT-related volumes, and social "OUTrageous Bingo" parties held monthly. The free community newspaper, Pittsburgh Out (www.outpub.com), is published monthly and can be picked up at local bars, coffee shops and large bookstores.
