Hogwash, it may seem to you that gay people talk about gay all the time.well, we are surrounded by you str8 people talking about str8 stuff all the time. Since Riverdale is adjacent to Hillcrest, these two areas together will most likely become a more well organized gay district in the future. Riverdale is also home to a lot of gays, and is where the top gay clubs are in Little Rock. Many businesses in Hillcrest are gay-owned. Now, gay people are moving there for that reason. It's a lot like has become somewhat of a gay mecca in Arkansas. More and more gay people are moving there, as it has become a well known gay neighborhood. Hillcrest lacks some of that, but certainly has a high gay population. Such areas may represent a gay-friendly oasis in an otherwise hostile city, or may simply have a high concentration of gay residents and/or businesses. They usually contain a number of gay-oriented establishments, such as gay bars or pubs, nightclubs, bathhouses, restaurants, bookstores, and other businesses. A gay district aka gay village aka gayborhood is usually an urban geographic location with generally recognized boundaries where a large number of gay and lesbian people, as well as bisexual and transgender people live. Many people outside of the area, even outside of the Hillcrest area don't realize how Hillcrest has become a small gay district. This is a thread about gay culture.so that we don't have to derail other threads :-)
