Portland (ME), Maine
Thai-American LGBTQ-owned coffee shop with a zen garden
LGBTQ+ owned coffee shop on Congress Street in Portland's West End, run by Tom Yordprom — a Thai-American who previously operated Siam Grille on Fore Street. Open since around 2010. The Thai background shows up in the menu alongside the coffee: Thai tea lattes sit next to the signature Vietnamese iced coffee, which is the drink most reviewers come for. The space includes an outdoor zen garden — unusual for a Congress Street storefront — and is dog-friendly (Milkbone treats stocked). Breakfast sandwiches and local bakery pastries round out the food. Staff know the regulars' orders before they reach the counter. Listed as LGBTQ+ owned by QLIST and The Francis hotel's Portland business guide.

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.
