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

Fort Worth, Texas

Neighboring Dallas might be glitzier, but Fort Worth is an up and coming gay-friendly city. While Texas is home to some of the least gay-friendly cities in the U.S., a city like Fort Worth is the opposite and offers many reasons for the LGBT crowd to check it out.

It calls itself a cow town and does not like pretension and formality, but Fort Worth has some excellent museums, country-western music halls, world-class performance spaces, and several interesting attractions in its Cultural District. Fort Worth also hosts the Tarrant County Gay Pride Week every year in early October.
