Douglas garden honoring Saugatuck's LGBTQ+ community pioneers
A beautiful, blooming garden in downtown Douglas that honors the deep roots of the LGBTQ+ community in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. Located at 147 West Center Street — right across from the Saugatuck-Douglas History Center — this quiet, reflective space pays tribute to the pioneers who helped build this community into one of the most welcoming destinations in the Midwest. The garden honors Larry Gammons and Carl Jennings, the founders of The Dunes Resort, among other local LGBTQ+ leaders. It's a meaningful stop before or after visiting the History Center's "A Century of Progress: 100 Years of LGBTQ History" exhibition, which chronicles the challenges, triumphs, and evolution of queer life in these twin Lake Michigan towns from the early 1900s to today.

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.
