Atlanta, Georgia
LGBTQ+ variety store and adult boutique in Ansley Square since 1989.
Brushstrokes Pleasures has served Atlanta's LGBTQ+ community since 1989, and it's Atlanta's only independently owned LGBTQ+ adult variety store. The inventory reaches well past the toys and novelties you'd expect: more than 4,500 styles of greeting cards share shelf space with pride flags, T-shirts, books, DVDs, jewelry, party games, and gifts, alongside the full adult section. It functions as much as a neighborhood gift shop as an erotica boutique. After more than 35 years in business, most of them under longtime staff who know the stock cold, Brushstrokes has earned a reputation for a no-pressure, genuinely welcoming room. It sits in the Ansley Square cluster of Gay Friendly businesses, which makes it an easy add to an afternoon of browsing the gay district rather than a destination you steel yourself to visit.

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.

October is Pride's last big wave and gay Halloween's first — Atlanta Pride, Fantasy Fest, Women's Week, and costume parties from WeHo to New Orleans. The best gay events in October.
