Trans-woman-owned gay bar on Detroit's west side Warren Avenue corridor
Adam's Apple is a trans-woman-owned neighborhood bar on Detroit's west side, in the Warrendale stretch of West Warren Avenue near GiGi's and HALO (the rebranded former Hayloft Saloon). Once known as Ken's Pub, the space got a remodel around 2015 that added an outdoor patio and gazebo. Owner Jaye Marie runs it with Michelle Franklin, and it serves as the home base for Detroit TG Invasion, a transgender social gathering held three times a year around the metro area. This is a regulars' bar, not a scene. Thursday and Friday karaoke and a Sunday open mic anchor the week, with the owners occasionally throwing a no-reason buffet for the room. Drinks run cheap, the crowd skews to people who've been coming for years, and the welcome is the whole point.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

The Village People were created by a gay producer as a set of gay fantasy characters and launched to gay disco audiences, but the members themselves differ. Here is what each has said on the record, and the two readings of YMCA.
