Question:
What is Gay Las Vegas?
Answer:
Gay Las Vegas is a lifestyle that celebrates the GLBT community. This lifestyle emerged from the hearts of the gay las vegas community. It came out of a time when mainstream society tended to view being GLBT as something shameful or inferior to being heterosexual.
The term "Gay" was deliberately chosen counter the idea that there was something embarrassing or wrong with being homosexual.
Las Vegas Gay Pride this year September 16-17 to commemorate the famous Stonewall riots. These riots occurred in 1969 as a response to homophobic raids that were happening at gay bars. During raids, police would drag people off to jail on fake charges, even if they weren't committing crimes.
But on June 27th, 1969, GLBT patrons of New York City's Stonewall Inn had had enough and fought back when police tried to arrest them. This culminated in what are often called the Stonewall Riots. These are seen by many as the birth of the Gay Rights Movement.
