Cleveland, Ohio
Ohio's oldest continuously running gay bar on St Clair Ave, since 1970
Operating since January 1970, the Leather Stallion Saloon is Ohio's oldest continuously running gay bar, founded by Al Brighton as a private levi/leather membership club for Cleveland's underground kink scene. Known to regulars over the years as the 'Leather Feather' and the 'Plastic Pony,' it remains a home base for the city's leather, bear, and motorcycle-club communities, with wood-paneled walls, pool tables, a dance floor, and a private outdoor patio that hosts Sunday afternoon cookouts. Membership and dress rules that once kept it men-only have relaxed across the decades, and the door is open to all genders today, though the heritage stays front and center. Programming runs to underwear parties, puppy-play nights, Kinky Karaoke, and trivia, with strong drinks and no cover. It's a genuine piece of Cleveland LGBTQ+ history that still functions as a working neighborhood leather bar, not a museum.

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.
