The 30 Most Gay-Friendly Cities in the U.S.

Columbus, Ohio

Many people overlook Columbus when they are planning to check out a gay-friendly city. Columbus is the 15th largest city in the U.S. and offers plenty of things of interest to the LGBT community. It has a large gay and lesbian population and there are more than 20 gay bars and clubs.

But people still don’t put Columbus on their bucket list simply because they don’t know what the city has to offer. It doesn’t come across as the most beautiful city in the U.S., but it has a very open gay community and plenty of things to see, like German Village and Ohio State University.
