Part of the Gay Atlanta Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Atlanta, Georgia
Midtown's gay menswear and swimwear shop since 1980.
Boy Next Door has outfitted Atlanta's gay community since 1980, which makes it one of the longest-running LGBTQ+ retailers in the Southeast. The shop is known for men's underwear, swimwear, and outerwear from independent designers rather than mall labels, with brands like Nasty Pig anchoring the racks and the buying leaning curated over comprehensive. Carroll, Kathy Hawkins, and Bill Garner bought the business in 2017 and ran it for years out of its original space near the Atlanta Botanical Garden. When a planned park expansion threatened to displace them, they moved in 2023 to 1000 Piedmont Avenue on Midtown's Rainbow Crosswalk, putting the store on one of the most photographed corners in the gayborhood. It's the kind of place where you stop in for swim trunks before a pool party and leave with the latest drop you didn't plan on.

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.

Atlanta Leather Pride owns the Eagle, Felix's celebrates 25 years, and Joining Hearts kicks off — plus our SF Dore Alley guide.
