Gay Buffalo

(Compiled by Julie Baker, MS, RN)

There are many gay-friendly businesses in the Buffalo area. The majority of queer activities take place in the Allentown and Elmwood Strip areas. Cafes, coffee houses, bookstores, as well as clubs and bars are great places to meet people and to become more involved in the Queer Community. In addition, there are sports, political, religious, and specific interest organizations for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.
