Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Known in the past for its mining and manufacturing of metals, today’s Pittsburgh is a much more interesting place, with new dominant sectors including computer software development, health and medical research, and education. Much of the renaissance of Pittsburgh is due to its many cultural attractions. The 1800s buildings are well preserved and fans of architecture will enjoy these historic buildings.

There is no single central hub of gay life in Pittsburgh, but there are several neighborhoods that are known for their large LGBT populations: these include East Liberty, Lawrenceville, North Side, Oakland, Polish Hill, Shadyville, and South Side. The annual Gay Pride is sponsored by some of the biggest corporations in the city.
